Ramban on Deuteronomy 32:4/רמב"ן על דברים ל״ב:ד׳

אהַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ, רֶמֶז לְמִדַּת הַדִּין. וְאָמַר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ, כִּי הַפֹּעַל הַבָּא מִמֶּנּוּ תָּמִים וְשָׁלֵם, לֹא יִמּוֹט וְלֹא יִשְׁתַּנֶּה לְעוֹלָם, כִּי כָל דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט הָרַחֲמִים הֵם, וְלֹא תָּבוֹא בַּפֹּעַל חֶסְרוֹן אַךְ בְּמִשְׁפָּט, כִּי הַמִּשְׁפָּט לְאֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל בַּצּוּר, וְהַמִּשְׁפָּט צַדִּיק וְהַצּוּר יָשָׁר:

1THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT. This is an allusion to the attribute of justice. He states His work is perfect for whatever act emanates from Him is perfect and complete, eternally immovable and unchangeable. For all His ways are justice. They are [indeed] the merciful⁹ ways, and there is no deficiency in [His] work; [rather, His work is performed] but in a just measure.¹⁰ For justice belongs to the G-d of faithfulness and there is no injustice¹¹ in the Rock. Thus the justice [dispensed] is righteous and the Rock is upright.
