4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect;For all His ways are justice,A God of truth and without injustice;Righteous and upright is He.
5 “They have corrupted themselves;They are not His children,Because of their blemish:A perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus deal with the Lord,O foolish and unwise people?Is He not your Father, who bought you?Has He not made you and established you?
7 “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:
8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,When He separated the sons of Adam,He set the boundaries of the peoplesAccording to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is His people;Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
10 “He found him in a desert landAnd in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;He encircled him, He instructed him,He kept him as the apple of His eye.
