1 The Lord, who lives for ever, created the whole universe,
2 and he alone is just.
4 He has given no one enough power to describe what he has done, and no one can investigate it completely.
5 Who can measure his majestic power? Who can tell the whole story of his merciful actions?
6 We cannot add to them; we cannot subtract from them. There is no way to comprehend the marvellous things the Lord has done.
7 When we come to the end of that story, we have not even begun; we are simply at a loss for words.
8 What are human beings? Of what use are they? The good that they do — the evil that they do — what does it all mean?
