Deuteronomy 32:4

Verse 4

4. He is the Rock, his work is perfect The Rock, perfect his work. In the Hebrew the position of the word translated Rock makes it very emphatic. The figure is a favourite one in Hebrew poetry. David, who in his wanderings had found the protection of Jehovah like the rocky fastnesses of Judea, says, in 2 Samuel 22:2, “The Lord is my rock.” While the figure is used for shelter and protection it is also employed to denote power, stability. Comp. Isaiah 26:4: “In the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength,” which might more literally be rendered, “in the Lord Jehovah is the rock of ages.”

All his ways are judgment In all his dealings he is just.
