1 Give ear * h238 h8685, O ye heavens * h8064, and I will speak * h1696 h8762; and hear * h8085 h8799, O earth * h776, the words * h561 of my mouth * h6310.
2 My doctrine * h3948 shall drop * h6201 h8799 as the rain * h4306, my speech * h565 shall distil * h5140 h8799 as the dew * h2919, as the small rain * h8164 upon the tender herb * h1877, and as the showers * h7241 upon the grass * h6212:
3 Because I will publish * h7121 h8799 the name * h8034 of the LORD * h3068: ascribe * h3051 h8798 ye greatness * h1433 unto our God * h430.
4 He is the Rock * h6697, his work * h6467 is perfect * h8549: for all his ways * h1870 are judgment * h4941: a God * h410 of truth * h530 and without iniquity * h5766, just * h6662 and right * h3477 is he.
5 They have corrupted * h7843 h8765 themselves, their spot * h3971 is not the spot of his children * h1121: they are a perverse * h6141 and crooked * h6618 generation * h1755. They have...: Heb. He hath corrupted to himself their...: or, that they are not his children, that is their blot
6 Do ye thus requite * h1580 h8799 the LORD * h3068, O foolish * h5036 people * h5971 and unwise * h2450? is not he thy father * h1 that hath bought * h7069 h8804 thee? hath he not made * h6213 h8804 thee, and established * h3559 h8787 thee?
7 Remember * h2142 h8798 the days * h3117 of old * h5769, consider * h995 h8798 the years * h8141 of many * h1755 generations * h1755: ask * h7592 h8798 thy father * h1, and he will shew * h5046 h8686 thee; thy elders * h2205, and they will tell * h559 h8799 thee. many...: Heb. generation and generation
8 When the most High * h5945 divided * h5157 to the nations * h1471 their inheritance * h5157 h8687, when he separated * h6504 h8687 the sons * h1121 of Adam * h120, he set * h5324 h8686 the bounds * h1367 of the people * h5971 according to the number * h4557 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478.
9 For the LORD'S * h3068 portion * h2506 is his people * h5971; Jacob * h3290 is the lot * h2256 of his inheritance * h5159. lot: Heb. cord
10 He found * h4672 h8799 him in a desert * h4057 land * h776, and in the waste * h8414 howling * h3214 wilderness * h3452; he led him about * h5437 h8779, he instructed * h995 h8787 him, he kept * h5341 h8799 him as the apple * h380 of his eye * h5869. led: or, compassed
11 As an eagle * h5404 stirreth up * h5782 h8686 her nest * h7064, fluttereth * h7363 h8762 over her young * h1469, spreadeth abroad * h6566 h8799 her wings * h3671, taketh * h3947 h8799 them, beareth * h5375 h8799 them on her wings * h84:
12 So the LORD * h3068 alone * h910 did lead * h5148 h8686 him, and there was no strange * h5236 god * h410 with him.
13 He made him ride * h7392 h8686 on the high places * h1116 of the earth * h776, that he might eat * h398 h8799 the increase * h8570 of the fields * h7704; and he made him to suck * h3243 h8686 honey * h1706 out of the rock * h5553, and oil * h8081 out of the flinty * h2496 rock * h6697;
14 Butter * h2529 of kine * h1241, and milk * h2461 of sheep * h6629, with fat * h2459 of lambs * h3733, and rams * h352 of the breed * h1121 of Bashan * h1316, and goats * h6260, with the fat * h2459 of kidneys * h3629 of wheat * h2406; and thou didst drink * h8354 h8799 the pure * h2561 blood * h1818 of the grape * h6025.
15 But Jeshurun * h3484 waxed fat * h8080 h8799, and kicked * h1163 h8799: thou art waxen fat * h8080 h8804, thou art grown thick * h5666 h8804, thou art covered * h3780 h8804 with fatness ; then he forsook * h5203 h8799 God * h433 which made * h6213 h8804 him, and lightly esteemed * h5034 h8762 the Rock * h6697 of his salvation * h3444.
16 They provoked him to jealousy * h7065 h8686 with strange * h2114 h8801 gods , with abominations * h8441 provoked they him to anger * h3707 h8686.
17 They sacrificed * h2076 h8799 unto devils * h7700, not to God * h433; to gods * h430 whom they knew * h3045 h8804 not, to new * h2319 gods that came * h935 newly * h7138 up * h935 h8804, whom your fathers * h1 feared * h8175 h8804 not. not to...: or, which were not God
18 Of the Rock * h6697 that begat * h3205 h8804 thee thou art unmindful * h7876 h8799, and hast forgotten * h7911 h8799 God * h410 that formed * h2342 h8789 thee.
19 And when the LORD * h3068 saw * h7200 h8799 it , he abhorred * h5006 h8799 them , because of the provoking * h3708 of his sons * h1121, and of his daughters * h1323. abhorred: or, despised
20 And he said * h559 h8799, I will hide * h5641 h8686 my face * h6440 from them, I will see * h7200 h8799 what their end * h319 shall be : for they are a very froward * h8419 generation * h1755, children * h1121 in whom is no faith * h529.
21 They have moved me to jealousy * h7065 h8765 with that which is not * h3808 God * h410; they have provoked me to anger * h3707 h8765 with their vanities * h1892: and I will move them to jealousy * h7065 h8686 with those which are not a people * h5971; I will provoke them to anger * h3707 h8686 with a foolish * h5036 nation * h1471.
22 For a fire * h784 is kindled * h6919 h8804 in mine anger * h639, and shall burn * h3344 h8799 unto the lowest * h8482 hell * h7585, and shall consume * h398 h8799 the earth * h776 with her increase * h2981, and set on fire * h3857 h8762 the foundations * h4144 of the mountains * h2022. shall burn: or, hath burned shall consume: or, hath consumed
23 I will heap * h5595 h8686 mischiefs * h7451 upon them; I will spend * h3615 h8762 mine arrows * h2671 upon them.
24 They shall be burnt * h4198 with hunger * h7458, and devoured * h3898 h8803 with burning heat * h7565, and with bitter * h4815 destruction * h6986: I will also send * h7971 h8762 the teeth * h8127 of beasts * h929 upon them, with the poison * h2534 of serpents * h2119 h8801 of the dust * h6083. heat: Heb. coals
25 The sword * h2719 without * h2351, and terror * h367 within * h2315, shall destroy * h7921 h8762 both the young man * h970 and the virgin * h1330, the suckling * h3243 h8802 also with the man * h376 of gray hairs * h7872. within: Heb. from the chambers destroy: Heb. bereave
26 I said * h559 h8804, I would scatter them into corners * h6284 h8686, I would make the remembrance * h2143 of them to cease * h7673 h8686 from among men * h582:
27 Were it not * h3884 that I feared * h1481 h8799 the wrath * h3708 of the enemy * h341 h8802, lest their adversaries * h6862 should behave themselves strangely * h5234 h8762, and lest they should say * h559 h8799, Our hand * h3027 is high * h7311 h8804, and the LORD * h3068 hath not done * h6466 h8804 all this. Our...: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done
28 For they are a nation * h1471 void * h6 h8802 of counsel * h6098, neither is there any understanding * h8394 in them.
29 O that * h3863 they were wise * h2449 h8804, that they understood * h7919 h8686 this, that they would consider * h995 h8799 their latter end * h319!
30 How should one * h259 chase * h7291 h8799 a thousand * h505, and two * h8147 put ten * h7233 thousand * h505 to flight * h5127 h8686, except * h3808 their Rock * h6697 had sold * h4376 h8804 them * h3588, and the LORD * h3068 had shut them up * h5462 h8689?
31 For their rock * h6697 is not as our Rock * h6697, even our enemies * h341 h8802 themselves being judges * h6414.
32 For their vine * h1612 is of the vine * h1612 of Sodom * h5467, and of the fields * h7709 of Gomorrah * h6017: their grapes * h6025 are grapes * h6025 of gall * h7219, their clusters * h811 are bitter * h4846: of the vine: or, worse than the vine
33 Their wine * h3196 is the poison * h2534 of dragons * h8577, and the cruel * h393 venom * h7219 of asps * h6620.
34 Is not this laid up in store * h3647 h8803 with me, and sealed up * h2856 h8803 among my treasures * h214?
35 To me belongeth vengeance * h5359, and recompence * h8005; their foot * h7272 shall slide * h4131 h8799 in due time * h6256: for the day * h3117 of their calamity * h343 is at hand * h7138, and the things that shall come * h6264 upon them make haste * h2363 h8804.
36 For the LORD * h3068 shall judge * h1777 h8799 his people * h5971, and repent * h5162 h8691 himself for his servants * h5650, when he seeth * h7200 h8799 that their power * h3027 is gone * h235 h8804, and there is none * h657 shut up * h6113 h8803, or left * h5800 h8803. power: Heb. hand
37 And he shall say * h559 h8804, Where are their gods * h430, their rock * h6697 in whom they trusted * h2620 h8804,
38 Which did eat * h398 h8799 the fat * h2459 of their sacrifices * h2077, and drank * h8354 h8799 the wine * h3196 of their drink offerings * h5257? let them rise up * h6965 h8799 and help * h5826 h8799 you, and be your protection * h5643. your...: Heb. an hiding for you
39 See * h7200 h8798 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god * h430 with me: I kill * h4191 h8686, and I make alive * h2421 h8762; I wound * h4272 h8804, and I heal * h7495 h8799: neither is there any that can deliver * h5337 h8688 out of my hand * h3027.
40 For I lift up * h5375 h8799 my hand * h3027 to heaven * h8064, and say * h559 h8804, I live * h2416 for ever * h5769.
41 If I whet * h8150 h8804 my glittering * h1300 sword * h2719, and mine hand * h3027 take hold * h270 h8799 on judgment * h4941; I will render * h7725 h8686 vengeance * h5359 to mine enemies * h6862, and will reward * h7999 h8762 them that hate * h8130 h8764 me.
42 I will make mine arrows * h2671 drunk * h7937 h8686 with blood * h1818, and my sword * h2719 shall devour * h398 h8799 flesh * h1320; and that with the blood * h1818 of the slain * h2491 and of the captives * h7633, from the beginning * h7218 of revenges * h6546 upon the enemy * h341 h8802.
43 Rejoice * h7442 h8685, O ye nations * h1471, with his people * h5971: for he will avenge * h5358 h8799 the blood * h1818 of his servants * h5650, and will render * h7725 h8686 vengeance * h5359 to his adversaries * h6862, and will be merciful * h3722 h8765 unto his land * h127, and to his people * h5971. Rejoice...: or, Praise his people, ye nations: or, Sing ye
44 And Moses * h4872 came * h935 h8799 and spake * h1696 h8762 all the words * h1697 of this song * h7892 in the ears * h241 of the people * h5971, he, and Hoshea * h1954 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126. Hoshea: or, Joshua
45 And Moses * h4872 made an end * h3615 h8762 of speaking * h1696 h8763 all these words * h1697 to all Israel * h3478:
46 And he said * h559 h8799 unto them, Set * h7760 h8798 your hearts * h3824 unto all the words * h1697 which I testify * h5749 h8688 among you this day * h3117, which ye shall command * h6680 h8762 your children * h1121 to observe * h8104 h8800 to do * h6213 h8800, all the words * h1697 of this law * h8451.
47 For it is not a vain * h7386 thing * h1697 for you; because it is your life * h2416: and through this thing * h1697 ye shall prolong * h748 h8686 your days * h3117 in the land * h127, whither ye go over * h5674 h8802 Jordan * h3383 to possess * h3423 h8800 it.
48 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8762 unto Moses * h4872 that selfsame * h6106 day * h3117, saying * h559 h8800,
49 Get thee up * h5927 h8798 into this mountain * h2022 Abarim * h5682, unto mount * h2022 Nebo * h5015, which is in the land * h776 of Moab * h4124, that is over against * h6440 Jericho * h3405; and behold * h7200 h8798 the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, which I give * h5414 h8802 unto the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 for a possession * h272:
50 And die * h4191 h8798 in the mount * h2022 whither thou goest up * h5927 h8802, and be gathered * h622 h8735 unto thy people * h5971; as Aaron * h175 thy brother * h251 died * h4191 h8804 in mount * h2022 Hor * h2023, and was gathered * h622 h8734 unto his people * h5971:
51 Because ye trespassed * h4603 h8804 against me among * h8432 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 at the waters * h4325 of Meribah-Kadesh * h4808 * h6946, in the wilderness * h4057 of Zin * h6790; because ye sanctified * h6942 h8765 me not in the midst * h8432 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478. Meribah-Kadesh: or, strife at Kadesh
52 Yet thou shalt see * h7200 h8799 the land * h776 before thee ; but thou shalt not go * h935 h8799 thither unto the land * h776 which I give * h5414 h8802 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478.
