Deuteronomy 32:1-13

1GiveH238 earH238, ye heavensH8064, and I will speakH1696; And let the earthH776 hearH8085 the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.2My doctrine shall dropH6201 as the rainH4306; My speech shall distil as the dewH2919, As the small rainH4306 upon the tender grassH1877, And as the showersH7241 upon the herb.3For I will proclaimH7121 the nameH8034 of Jehovah: AscribeH3051 ye greatnessH1433 unto our GodH430.4The RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549; For all his waysH1870 are justiceH4941: A GodH410 of faithfulnessH530 and without iniquity, Just and rightH3477 is he.5They have dealt corruptlyH7843 with him, they are not his children, it is their blemishH3971; They area perverseH6141 and crooked generationH1755.6Do ye thus requite Jehovah, O foolishH5036 peopleH5971 and unwise? Is not he thy fatherH1 that hath boughtH7069 thee? He hath madeH6213 thee, and establishedH3559 thee.7RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH2205, ConsiderH995 the yearsH8141 of many generationsH1755: AskH7592 thy fatherH1, and he will show thee; Thine eldersH2205, and they will tellH5046 thee.8When the Most High gaveH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, When he separatedH6504 the children of menH120, He setH5324 the bounds of the peoplesH5971 According to the numberH4557 of the children of IsraelH3478.9For Jehovah’s portionH2506 is his peopleH5971; JacobH3290 is the lot of his inheritanceH5159.10He foundH4672 him in a desert landH776, And in the waste howling wildernessH4057; He compassed him about, he cared for him, He keptH5341 him as the apple of his eyeH5869.11As an eagleH5404 that stirreth up her nestH7064, That fluttereth over her youngH1469, He spreadH6566 abroad his wingsH3671, he tookH3947 them, He bare them on his pinionsH84.12Jehovah aloneH910 did leadH5148 him, And there was no foreign godH410 with him.13He made him rideH7392 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776, And he did eatH398 the increase of the fieldH7704; And he made him to suckH3243 honeyH1706 out of the rockH6697, And oilH8081 out of the flinty rockH6697;
