Berean Standard Bible
`
Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And
thou
dost
hear, O earth, sayings
of my mouth !
Give ear, O heavens, and I will
speak; hear, O earth, the
words
of my mouth .
Drop
as
rain doth
My doctrine;
Flow
as
dew doth
My
sayings;
As
storms
on the
tender
grass, And
as
showers on the
herb,
Let
my
teaching
fall
like
rain and
my speech
settle
like
dew ,
like
gentle
rain
on new
grass, like
showers on tender
plants.
For the Name of Jehovah
I
proclaim,
Ascribe ye
greatness to our God!
For I
will
proclaim
the name of the
LORD.
Ascribe greatness to our God!
The Rock !
--
perfect
`is'
His work ,
For
all His ways `
are '
just ;
God of stedfastness,
and
without iniquity:
Righteous and upright `
is '
He.
He
is
the Rock ,
His work is
perfect;
all His ways are just .
A
God of faithfulness
without injustice,
righteous and upright is He.
It
hath
done
corruptly to
Him; Their
blemish
is not His sons'
, A generation
perverse and crooked !
His
people
have
acted
corruptly toward
Him; the
spot
on
them
is not that
of
His children
, but
of
a perverse and crooked generation.
To
Jehovah
do
ye
act
thus
, O people
foolish and not
wise
? Is not
He thy
father --
thy
possessor
? He made thee,
and doth
establish
thee.
Is
this
how
you
repay
the
LORD
, O foolish and senseless
people
? Is He not
your
Father and
Creator
? Has
He not
made you
and established
you?
Remember days of old --
Understand
the years of
many
generations
--
Ask thy
father, and he doth
tell thee;
Thine
elders, and they say
to
thee:
Remember the
days of old ;
consider
the years long
past.
Ask your
father, and he will
tell you,
your
elders, and they will
inform
you.
In
the Most High causing
nations to
inherit
, In
His
separating
sons of Adam
--
He setteth
up
the borders
of the peoples By
the number of the sons of Israel
.
When
the Most High gave
the
nations their
inheritance
, when
He
divided
the
sons of man,
He set
the boundaries
of the peoples according
to
the number of the sons of God
.
For
Jehovah's
portion `
is '
His people, Jacob `is'
the
line
of
His inheritance.
But
the
LORD’s
portion is His people, Jacob His allotted
inheritance.
He findeth
him in a land
--
a
desert, And
in a void
--
a
howling wilderness ,
He turneth
him round
--
He causeth
him to
understand
--
He keepeth
him as the apple of His eye.
He found
him in a desert land
, in a barren,
howling wilderness ;
He surrounded
him ,
He instructed
him ,
He guarded
him as the apple of His eye.
As an eagle waketh
up its nest ,
Over its young ones
fluttereth
, Spreadeth
its
wings --
taketh
them ,
Beareth
them on its
pinions ;
--
As an eagle stirs
up its nest and
hovers
over its young, He
spread
His
wings to
catch
them and
carried
them on His
pinions .
Jehovah
alone doth
lead
him, And there
is
no strange
god with him.
The
LORD
alone led
him, and no foreign
god was
with him.
He maketh
him ride on high
places
of earth,
And he
eateth
increase
of the fields,
And
He maketh
him suck
honey from a
rock ,
And oil out
of
the flint
of
a
rock;
He made
him ride on the
heights
of the
land
and fed
him
the
produce
of the field.
He nourished
him with
honey from the
rock and oil from
the flinty
crag,
Butter
of
the herd ,
and milk of
the flock, With fat of lambs, and
rams ,
sons
of
Bashan, And he-
goats, with fat
of
kidneys
of wheat ;
And
of
the blood
of the grape
thou
dost
drink
wine !
with
curds
from
the herd and milk from
the flock, with the
fat of lambs, with
rams from
Bashan, and goats, with the
choicest
grains
of wheat .
From
the juice
of the finest
grapes
you
drank
the
wine .
And
Jeshurun waxeth
fat ,
and doth
kick:
Thou
hast
been
fat --
thou
hast
been
thick
, Thou
hast
been
covered.
And he leaveth
God who made him ,
And dishonoureth
the Rock of his salvation.
But
Jeshurun grew
fat and kicked—
becoming
fat, bloated,
and gorged.
He abandoned
the
God who made him and scorned
the Rock of his salvation.
They make
Him
zealous
with
strangers,
With abominations
they make
Him angry
.
They provoked
His
jealousy
with foreign
gods;
they enraged
Him with
abominations
.
They sacrifice
to demons --
no
god !
Gods they have
not known --
New
ones
--
from
the
vicinity
they
came;
Not
feared
them
have
your fathers !
They sacrificed
to demons ,
not
to
God ,
to
gods they had
not known ,
to
newly
arrived
gods,
which
your fathers did
not
fear.
The Rock that
begat
thee
thou
forgettest,
And
neglectest
God who formeth
thee
.
You
ignored
the Rock who
brought
you
forth;
you
forgot
the
God who gave
you
birth
.
And
Jehovah
seeth
and
despiseth
--
For
the provocation
of
His sons and His
daughters.
When
the LORD
saw
this,
He
rejected
them,
provoked
to
anger
by
His sons and daughters.
And
He saith
: I hide My face from them ,
I see what `is'
their latter
end ;
For a froward
generation `are'
they,
Sons
in
whom
is
no
stedfastness
.
He said
: “
I will
hide My face from them ;
I will
see what will
be
their end .
For they
are
a perverse
generation —
children
of
unfaithfulness
.
They have made
Me
zealous
by `no-
god ,'
They made
Me angry
by
their vanities;
And
I make them zealous
by
`no-people,'
By a foolish
nation
I make them angry.
They have provoked
My
jealousy
by that
which
is
not
God ;
they have
enraged
Me with
their worthless
idols.
So
I will
make them jealous
by those
who
are
not
a people;
I will
make them angry by
a
nation
without
understanding
.
For a fire hath
been kindled in
Mine
anger, And it burneth
unto
Sheol --
the lowest,
And
consumeth
earth and its increase
, And setteth
on
fire
foundations of mountains.
For a fire has
been kindled by
My
anger, and it burns
to
the
depths
of
Sheol ;
it
consumes
the earth and its produce
, and scorches
the
foundations of the
mountains.
I gather
upon them evils,
Mine
arrows
I consume
upon
them.
I will
heap
disasters
upon them ;
I will
spend
My
arrows
against
them.
Exhausted
by
famine,
And consumed
by heat,
and bitter destruction.
And
the teeth
of beasts I
send
upon
them, With poison
of
fearful
things
of the dust.
They
will
be
wasted
from
hunger
and ravaged
by pestilence
and bitter plague;
I
will
send
the fangs
of wild
beasts against
them, with the
venom
of vipers
that
slither
in
the dust.
Without
bereave
doth
the sword, And at
the
inner-chambers
--
fear
, Both
youth
and virgin
, Suckling
with
man of
grey
hair
.
Outside,
the sword will
take
their
children
, and inside
, terror
will
strike
the
young
man
and the
young
woman
, the
infant
and
the
gray-haired
man.
I have said :
I blow
them away,
I
cause
their
remembrance
to cease
from man;
I would
have said that
I would
cut
them to pieces
and
blot
out
their
memory
from mankind,
If not --
the anger
of an
enemy I
fear
, Lest their adversaries know
--
Lest
they
say ,
Our hand is
high,
And
Jehovah
hath
not wrought
all this.
if I
had
not dreaded
the taunt
of the
enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand
and
say :
‘
Our own
hand has
prevailed;
it
was
not the
LORD
who
did
all this. ’”
For
a nation lost
to
counsels
`are'
they
, And
there
is
no understanding in
them.
Israel
is
a nation devoid
of
counsel
, with
no understanding among
them.
If they were wise --
They deal
wisely
`with'
this
; They attend
to
their latter
end:
If only
they were wise ,
they would
understand
it
; they would
comprehend
their fate.
How doth
one pursue a thousand, And
two cause
a
myriad
to flee!
If
not
--
that
their rock hath
sold them, And
Jehovah
hath
shut
them up?
How could
one man
pursue a thousand, or
two put
ten
thousand
to flight,
unless
their Rock had
sold them, unless
the
LORD
had
given
them up?
For not
as
our
Rock `
is '
their
rock, (And
our enemies `are'
judges!)
For their
rock is not
like
our
Rock, even
our enemies concede.
For
of
the vine of Sodom their
vine
`is',
And of
the fields of Gomorrah ;
Their grapes `
are '
grapes
of
gall
--
They
have
bitter
clusters
;
But
their
vine
is
from
the vine of Sodom and from
the fields of Gomorrah .
Their grapes are poisonous
; their
clusters
are
bitter.
The
poison
of
dragons
`is'
their wine And
the fierce
venom of asps
.
Their wine is
the venom of serpents,
the
deadly
poison
of
cobras
.
Is
it
not laid
up with
Me?
Sealed among
My treasures
?
“Have
I
not stored
up these
things,
sealed up
within
My vaults
?
Mine
`are'
vengeance and
recompense,
At
the
due time --
doth
their foot slide
; For near
is
a
day of their
calamity
, And haste
do
things
prepared
for
them
.
Vengeance is
Mine;
I
will
repay.
In
due time their foot will
slip
; for their
day of disaster
is
near
, and their
doom
is
coming
quickly
. ”
For Jehovah
doth
judge
His people ,
And for
His servants doth
repent
Himself.
For
He seeth
--
the
going
away
of
power,
And
none
is restrained
and left
.
For the
LORD
will
vindicate
His people and have
compassion
on
His servants when
He sees
that
their
strength
is gone
and no
one
remains,
slave
or
free
.
And
He hath
said,
Where `
are '
their gods --
The rock in which they trusted;
He will
say:
“
Where are their gods ,
the rock in which they took
refuge,
Which the fat of their sacrifices do
eat,
They
drink
the wine of their libation!
Let them arise
and help you ,
Let it
be
for
you a
hiding-place
!
which ate
the fat of their sacrifices and
drank
the wine of their drink
offerings?
Let them rise
up
and help you ;
let them
give
you shelter
!
See ye,
now ,
that I --
I
`
am '
He ,
And
there is no god with
Me :
I put
to
death ,
and I keep
alive
; I have
smitten,
and I heal ;
And there is not
from My hand a
deliverer,
See now that I am He ;
there is no God besides
Me .
I bring
death and I give
life
; I wound
and I heal ,
and there is no
one
who
can
deliver
from My hand .
For I lift up unto
the
heavens
My hand ,
And have
said,
I live --
to
the
age!
For I lift up My hand to
heaven
and declare:
As
surely
as
I live forever,
If
I have
sharpened
the
brightness
of
My sword, And My hand doth
lay
hold
on
judgment, I turn
back
vengeance to
Mine
adversaries ,
And to
those hating
Me --
I
repay!
when
I sharpen
My flashing
sword, and My hand grasps
it
in
judgment, I will
take
vengeance on
My
adversaries and repay
those who
hate
Me .
I make drunk
Mine
arrows with blood, And
My sword devoureth
flesh ,
From
the blood of the pierced
and captive
, From
the head
of
the
freemen
of the enemy.
I will
make My
arrows drunk
with blood, while
My sword devours
flesh —
the blood of the slain
and captives
, the heads
of the enemy leaders
. ”
Sing
ye
nations --
`
with '
his people ,
For the blood of His servants
He avengeth,
And
vengeance He
turneth
back
on His adversaries ,
And hath
pardoned
His land --
His people. '
Rejoice,
O
heavens,
with
Him,
and
let
all
God’s
angels
worship
Him.
Rejoice,
O
nations ,
with His people ;
for He
will
avenge
the blood of His children.
He will
take
vengeance on His adversaries and repay
those
who
hate
Him;
He
will
cleanse
His land and
His people.
And
Moses cometh
and speaketh
all the words of this song in the ears
of the people ,
he
and
Hoshea
son
of
Nun;
Then
Moses came
with
Joshua
son
of
Nun
and recited
all the words of this song in the hearing
of the people .
and
Moses finisheth
to
speak
all these words unto
all Israel,
When
Moses had
finished
reciting
all these words to
all Israel,
and
saith
unto
them, `Set
your
heart
to all the
words which
I am
testifying
against
you to-day
, that ye
command your sons
to
observe
to do
all the words of this law ,
he
said
to
them, “Take
to heart
all these
words I testify
among
you today
, so
that you
may
command your children
to carefully
follow
all the words of this law .
for it
`is'
not a
vain
thing
for
you, for
it
`is'
your life, and by this
thing
ye
prolong
days
on
the ground
whither
ye
are passing
over
the Jordan to possess it
. '
For they
are
not idle
words
to
you, because
they
are
your life, and by them
you
will
live
long
in
the land
that
you
are crossing
the Jordan to possess. ”
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses,
in
this
self-
same day ,
saying
,
On
that
same day the
LORD
said
to
Moses
,
`
Go up unto
this
mount
Abarim ,
mount Nebo, which
`is'
in the land of Moab ,
which
`is'
on
the
front
of
Jericho, and see
the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons
of
Israel
for
a
possession ;
“
Go up into
the
Abarim Range
to
Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across
from
Jericho, and view
the land of Canaan ,
which I am giving to the Israelites
as
their
own
possession .
and die
in
the mount
whither
thou
art
going
up
, and be gathered unto
thy
people, as Aaron
thy
brother hath
died in
the
mount Hor ,
and is
gathered unto
his people :
And there
on
the mountain
that
you
climb
, you
will
die
and be gathered to
your
people, just
as your
brother Aaron
died on
Mount Hor and was
gathered to
his people .
`Because
ye
trespassed
against
me
in
the
midst
of
the
sons
of
Israel
at the waters of Meribath
-Kadesh ,
the wilderness of Zin --
because
ye
sanctified
Me
not
in
the
midst
of the sons
of
Israel;
For
at the waters of Meribah
-kadesh in
the Wilderness of Zin ,
both
of you
broke
faith
with
Me
among
the Israelites
by
failing
to
treat
Me
as
holy
in
their
presence.
but
over-against
thou
seest
the
land,
and
thither
thou
dost
not
go
in,
unto
the land which
I am giving to
the sons
of
Israel
. '
Although
you
shall
see
from
a
distance
the land that
I am giving the Israelites,
you
shall
not
enter
it
. ”
