* Give ear , you (note :){+}(:note ) heavens , and I will speak ; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth . * My doctrine will drop as the rain ; My speech will distill as the dew , As the small rain on the tender grass , And as the showers on the herb . * For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh : Ascribe (note :){+}(:note ) greatness to our God . * The Rock , his work is perfect ; For all his ways are justice : A God of faithfulness and without iniquity , Just and right is he . * They have dealt corruptly with him , [they are ] not his sons , [it is ] their blemish ; [They are ] a perverse and crooked generation . * Do you (note :){+}(:note ) thus requite Yahweh , O foolish people and unwise ? Isn 't he your father who has bought you ? He has made you , and established you . * Remember the days of old , Consider the years of many generations : Ask your father , and he will show you ; Your elders , and they will tell you . * When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance , When he separated the sons of man , He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the sons of God . * For Yahweh 's portion is his people ; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance . * He found him in a desert land , And in the waste howling wilderness ; He surrounded him , he cared for him , He kept him as the apple of his eye . * As an eagle that stirs up her nest , That hovers over her young , He spread abroad his wings , he took them , He bore them on his pinions . * Yahweh alone led him , And there was no foreign god with him . * He made him ride on the high places of the earth , And he ate the increase of the field ; And he made him to suck honey out of the rock , And oil out of the flinty rock ; * Butter of the herd , and milk of the flock , With fat of lambs , And rams of the breed of Bashan , and goats , With the finest of the wheat ; And of the blood of the grape you drank wine . * Jacob ate and had his fill , Jeshurun waxed fat , and kicked : You have waxed fat , you have grown thick , you have become sleek ; Then he forsook God who made him , And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation . * They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods ]; With disgusting things they provoked him to anger . * They sacrificed to demons , [which were ] not God , To gods that they did not know , To new [gods ] that came up of late , Which your (note :){+}(:note ) fathers did not dread . * Of the Rock that begot you you are unmindful , And have forgotten God who gave you birth . * And Yahweh saw [it ], and abhorred [them ] Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters . * And he said , I will hide my face from them , I will see what their end will be : For they are a very perverse generation , Sons in whom is no faithfulness . * They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God ; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities : And I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people ; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation . * For a fire is kindled in my anger , And burns to the lowest Sheol , And devours the earth with its increase , And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains . * I will heap evils on them ; I will spend my arrows on them : * [They will be ] wasted with hunger , and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction ; And the teeth of beasts I will send on them , With the poison of crawling things of the dust . * Outside will the sword bereave , And in the chambers terror ; [It will destroy ] both young man and virgin , The suckling with the man of gray hairs . * I said , I would scatter them far , I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among common man ; * Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy , Or else their adversaries should judge amiss , And they should say , Our hand is exalted , And Yahweh has not done all this . * For they are a nation void of counsel , And there is no understanding in them . * Oh that they were wise , that they understood this , That they would consider their latter end ! * How should one chase a thousand , And two put ten thousand to flight , Except their Rock had sold them , And Yahweh had delivered them up ? * For their rock is not as our Rock , Even our enemies themselves being judges . * For their vine is of the vine of Sodom , And of the fields of Gomorrah : Their grapes are grapes of gall , Their clusters are bitter : * Their wine is the poison of serpents , And the cruel venom of cobras . * Isn 't this laid up in store with me , Sealed up among my treasures ? * For the day of vengeance and recompense will come in time . Their foot will slide , for the day of their calamity is near . And the things that are to come upon them will hurry . * For Yahweh will judge his people , And repent himself for his slaves ; When he sees that [their ] power is gone , And there is none [remaining ], shut up or left at large . * And he will say , Where are their gods , The rock in which they took refuge ; * Which ate the fat of their sacrifices , [And ] drank the wine of their drink-offering ? Let them rise up and help you (note :){+}(:note ) Let them be your {+} protection . * See now that I , even I , am he , And there is no god with me : I kill , and I make alive ; I wound , and I heal ; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand . * For I lift up my hand to heaven , And say , As I live forever , * If I whet my glittering sword , And my hand takes hold on judgment ; I will render vengeance to my adversaries , And will recompense those who hate me . * I will make my arrows drunk with blood , And my sword will devour flesh ; With the blood of the slain and the captives , From the longhaired heads of the enemy . * Rejoice with him , [you (note :){+}(:note )] heavens . And bow down before him , all [you {+}] gods . For he will avenge the blood of his sons , And will render vengeance to his adversaries , And will pay back those who hate him , And will make expiation for the land of his people . * And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people , he , and Hoshea the son of Nun . * And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel ; * And he said to them , Set your (note :){+}(:note ) heart to all the words which I testify to you {+} this day , which you {+} will command your {+} sons to observe to do , [even ] all the words of this law . * For it is no vain thing for you (note :){+}(:note ); because it is your {+} life , and through this thing you {+} will prolong your {+} days in the land , where you {+} go over the Jordan to possess it . * And Yahweh spoke to Moses that very same day , saying , * Go up into this mountain of Abarim , to mount Nebo , which is in the land of Moab , that is across from Jericho ; and look at the land of Canaan , which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession ; * and die in the mount where you go up , and be gathered to your people , as Aaron your brother died in mount Hor , and was gathered to his people : * because you (note :){+}(:note ) trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh , in the wilderness of Zin ; because you {+} did not sanctify me in the midst of the sons of Israel . * For you will see the land before you ; but you will not go there into the land which I give the sons of Israel .
