4 The Rock, his work is perfect,for all his ways are just.A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,just and right is he.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him.They are not his children, because of their defect.They are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Is this the way you repay the Lord,foolish and unwise people?Isn’t he your father who has bought you?He has 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 gave to the nations their inheritance,when he separated the children of men,he set the bounds of the peoplesaccording to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people.Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land,in the waste howling wilderness.He surrounded him.He cared for him.He kept him as the apple of his eye.
