I clothe the heavens with blackness.
    I make sackcloth their covering.”

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught,
    that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary.

    he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear.
    I was not rebellious.
    I have not turned back.
