Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

1 “Listen, you heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth!

2 “May my teaching drip as the rain, My speech trickle as the dew, As droplets on the fresh grass, And as the showers on the vegetation.

3 “For I proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe greatness to our God!

4 “The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and just is He.

5 “They have acted corruptly against Him, They are not His children, because of their defect; But are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 “Is this what you do to the LORD, You foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father who has purchased you? He has made you and established you.

7 “Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. Ask your father and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.

8 “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of mankind, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the sons of Israel.

9 “For the LORD’S portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.
