4 He is like a rock; what he does is perfect,and he is always fair.He is a faithful God who does no wrong,who is right and fair.
5 They have done evil against him.To their shame they are no longer his children;they are an evil and lying people.
6 This is not the way to repay the Lord,you foolish and unwise people.He is your Father and Maker,who made you and formed you.
7 Remember the old days.Think of the years already passed.Ask your father and he will tell you;ask your elders and they will inform you.
8 God Most High gave the nations their lands,dividing up the human race.He set up borders for the peopleand even numbered the Israelites.
9 The Lord took his people as his share,the people of Jacob as his very own.
10 He found them in a desert,a windy, empty land.He surrounded them and brought them up,guarding them as those he loved very much.
