17 Yet even God’s holy ones must failin recounting the wonders of the Lord,Though God has given his hosts the strengthto stand firm before his glory.
18 He searches out the abyss and penetrates the heart;their secrets he understands.For the Most High possesses all knowledge,and sees from of old the things that are to come.
19 He makes known the past and the future,and reveals the deepest secrets.
20 He lacks no understanding;no single thing escapes him.
21 He regulates the mighty deeds of his wisdom;he is from all eternity one and the same,With nothing added, nothing taken away;no need of a counselor for him!
22 How beautiful are all his works,delightful to gaze upon and a joy to behold!
23 Everything lives and abides forever;and to meet each need all things are preserved.
