Deuteronomy 32:4-6

Is it Yahweh's fault that the world is impaired wkt? 

Just consider the first two words and their usage in the psalms. How close this language is to the Psalter. 

Rock as a symbol for Yahweh is common. It is used this way in the Psalms -- 8 times the phrase is 'my rock'. It is personal and reliable. I could not say this for the teachers I grew up with, especially the religious ones. They failed completely in their need to punish - a practice that is neither personal nor reliable. It's probable that you grew up with the 16th century fetish of necessary punishment. There is no such attribution of this character or name or reputation to Yahweh. It is entirely a human deviation and tortuous practice. If we are the destroyers, the ones who impair creation, our character and motivation is not of God.

If you had to save the world from itself, how would you do it? How would you define a satisfactory or complete result? Complete (tmm) is used 30 times in the psalms.

Impair / destroy occurs 18 times in the psalms, and most strangely in four psalms (57, 58, 59, 75) inscribed 'do not destroy'. In contrast, spot is never used. Blemish is a hapax, occurring once only in Psalm 50.

הַצּוּר֙ תָּמִ֣ים פָּעֳל֔וֹ כִּ֥י כָל־דְּרָכָ֖יו מִשְׁפָּ֑ט אֵ֤ל אֱמוּנָה֙ וְאֵ֣ין עָ֔וֶל צַדִּ֥יק וְיָשָׁ֖ר הֽוּא ר		4 The Rock, complete is his work, for all his ways are judgment. A God of faithfulness, and there is no injustice. A righteous one, and upright is he.
