Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Deuteronomy 32:3

I will publish the name of the Lord His glorious excellences and righteous actions, by which he hath made himself known as a man is known by his name, and by which it will appear both that there is no blame to be laid upon him whatsoever befalls you, and that it is gross madness to forsake such a God for dumb idols. Ascribe ye As I am about to publish the majesty and glory of God, so do you also acknowledge it.
