The Character of the Overlord Is Described (Deuteronomy 32:4).

Deuteronomy 32:4

“The Rock, his work is perfect;

For all his ways are justice.

A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,

Just and right is he.”

The reason that God can be ascribed as great is now expanded on. It is because He is the Rock, He is what alone is firm and sure in the midst of uncertainty (Psalms 31:2; Psalms 40:2; Psalms 62:2; Psalms 62:6; Psalms 94:22), He alone provides shelter from the burning heat (Isaiah 32:2), and water for the thirsty (Deuteronomy 8:15 compare Deuteronomy 32:13; Psalms 78:20; Psalms 105:41; Psalms 114:8; Isaiah 48:21). For His work is perfect and without fault or failure, His ways are totally just and right, and He is totally faithful and without any trace within of bentness or wrongdoing or inbred sin. The fact that false gods can also later be likened to a rock (Deuteronomy 32:31) suggests that the first picture is what is mainly in mind.
