3 I will proclaim the name of the lord;how glorious is our God!
4 He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect.Everything he does is just and fair.He is a faithful God who does no wrong;how just and upright he is!
5 “But they have acted corruptly toward him;when they act so perversely,are they really his children?They are a deceitful and twisted generation.
6 Is this the way you repay the lord,you foolish and senseless people?Isn’t he your Father who created you?Has he not made you and established you?
7 Remember the days of long ago;think about the generations past.Ask your father, and he will inform you.Inquire of your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High assigned lands to the nations,when he divided up the human race,he established the boundaries of the peoplesaccording to the number in his heavenly court.
9 “For the people of Israel belong to the lord;Jacob is his special possession.
