This 52-verse song, spoken by Moses before he finishes addressing Israel, calls God the Rock whose work is perfect and foretells Jeshurun’s coming unfaithfulness and judgment.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Give ear you heavens and I will speak Let the earth hear the words of my mouth
My doctrine will drop as the rain My speech will condense as the dew As the misty rain on the tender grass As the showers on the herb
For I will proclaim the LORD’s name Ascribe greatness to our God 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 They have dealt corruptly with him They are not his children because of their defect A perverse and crooked generation
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
When the Most High gave to the nations Their inheritance when he separated the children of men He set the bounds of the peoples 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 In the waste howling wilderness He surrounded him he cared for him He kept him as the apple of his eye
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked You have grown fat you have grown thick You have become sleek Then he abandoned God who made him And rejected the Rock of his salvation
They provoked him to anger with abominations They sacrificed to demons not God To gods that they didn’t know To new gods that came up recently
Of the Rock who became your father You are unmindful and have forgotten God Who gave you birth The LORD saw and abhorred Because of the provocation of his sons
