Commentary for Berakhot 41:4
מנין לברכת התורה לפניה מן התורה שנאמר (דברים לב, ג) כי שם ה' אקרא הבו גדל לאלהינו
Whence is it that the benediction to be uttered before reading the Torah is ordained by the Torah? As it is said, "For I will proclaim the name of the Lord : ascribe ye greatness unto our God" (ibid. xxxii. 3).

In Joma 37a this verse is explained as follows: When Moses was about to begin his song, he said to Israel, "I will open with a benediction, viz. 'For I will proclaim the name of the Lord,' and ye will respond with 'Ascribe ye greatness unto our God '."
