“He who lives forever
Created the whole universe.
The Lord alone is just.
There is no other beside him.
He steers the world
With the span of his hand.
All things obey his will.
He is king of all things
By his power.
He separates the holy things
From the profane.
To none has he given power
To proclaim his works.
Who can search out his mighty deeds?
Who can measure his majestic power?
Who can fully recount his mercies?
It is not possible to diminish or increase them.
It is not possible to fathom the wonders of the Lord.
When human beings have finished,
They are just beginning.
When they stop,
They are still perplexed.”
The eternal God has created the whole universe. The Lord alone is just since there is no one beside him. He steers the world with his hands. Everything obeys his will, since he is the king of all things. The Lord separates the sacred from the profane. No one can proclaim his works, search out his mighty deeds, measure his majestic power, or tell all about his mercy. You cannot increase or decrease his power. You cannot imagine all the wonders of the Lord. Humans think that they are finishing things, but they are only beginning, since they are still perplexed. The Lord is the great creator of this wonderful world.
