JAWEH
O God, whose law is upon the heavens; whose law is not broken;
Who orderest the courses of the stars, and directest the rain drops;
There is nothing that errs from thy direction; the obedience is exact.
Thou settest thy creatures one against another, and awardest victory according to thy pleasure.
Thou commandest the oak tree to grow into majesty, that thou mayest triumph in thy lightning.
Thou makest merry in the thunder; the earthquake is the stirring of thy hands.
Thou hast made for thyself an enemy to war upon thee. Thou hast given him courage and a sword, that thou mayest glory in his fortitude.
Thou hast made man to labour; and if his work displease thee, thou scatterest it like chaff.
Thou hast appeared to man in splendour, so that he cannot forget.
