Deuteronomy 32:1-9
Listen, you heavens, and I will speak; hear, you earth, the words of my mouth. Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.
I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
They are corrupt and not his children; to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation. Is this the way you repay the Lord, you foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?
Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.
The literary form behind this song is that of covenant lawsuit: it is an indictment and accusation, with heaven and earth called to witness.
Why?
The word of the Lord is like rain, dew, and showers on the ground.
God is the rock in our life, it is the foundation of our life.
Remember what the Lord has done on me, be humble, and honor his great name.
For the Lord's portion is his people.

神要摩西作一首歌,召眾民來,說這首歌,並且見證人的不是。
摩西說: 我知道你們是背逆的,是硬著頸項的。雖然如還是一直訓誡他們。講那麼多次還要做歌,因為容易讓百姓記住。人不能有藉口說不知道!
神對以色列百姓的牽掛,如同父母對兒女的叮嚀,牽掛!讓我們的心也牽掛神!
-------------------
How?
Praise the Lord and obey his word and meditate on God's word every day.
