Give ear,
O ye heavens,
and I will speak;
and hear,
O earth,
the words
of my mouth.
My doctrine

my speech

Because I will publish
the name
of the LORD:
ascribe
ye greatness
unto our God.
He is the Rock,
his work
is perfect:
for all his ways
are judgment:
a God
of truth
and without iniquity,
just
and right
is he.
They have corrupted
themselves, their spot
is not the spot of his children:
they are a perverse
and crooked
generation.
Do ye thus requite
the LORD,
O foolish
people
and unwise?
is not he thy father
that hath bought
thee? hath he not made
thee, and established
thee?
Remember
the days
of old,
consider
the years
of many
generations:
ask
thy father,
and he will shew
thee; thy elders,
and they will tell
thee.
When the most High
divided
to the nations
their inheritance,
when he separated
the sons
of Adam,
he set
the bounds
of the people
according to the number
of the children
of Israel.
For the LORD'S
portion
is his people;
Jacob
is the lot
of his inheritance.
He found
him in a desert
land,
and in the waste
howling
wilderness;
he led him about,
he instructed
him, he kept
him as the apple
of his eye.

So the LORD

They have moved me to jealousy
