Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew; As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.

3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4 The Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice; A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is He.

5 Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish; A generation crooked and perverse.

6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? Hath He not made thee, and established thee?

7 Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations; Ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

8 When the Most High gave to the nations When He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

9 For the portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His inheritance.
