Whose eyes are far brighter than the sun, beholding round about all the ways of men,
Who discoverest deep things out of darkness, and bringest up to light the shadow of death,
God, with whom there is no respect of persons,
Who catchest the wise in their craftiness, and disappointest the counsel of the wicked,
Who quickenest the dead, and callest those things that are not as those that are,
God of all flesh, to whom no word is hard, Who hast made the earth by thy power, and prepared the world by thy wisdom,
Who givest rain upon the face of the earth, and waterest all things with waters,
Who givest food to all flesh,
Who hast made all things for thyself,
Who livest for ever and ever,
Who hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight,
Whom heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain,
Who art terrible in thy counsels over the sons of men,
Before whom the whole world is as the least grain of the balance.
Who workest all things according to the counsel of thy will,
Who hast measured the waters in the hollow of thy hand, and hast weighed the heavens with thy palm,
Who rulest the power of the sea, and appeasest the motion of its waves,
Who hast poised with three fingers the bulk of the earth, and weighed the mountains in scales,
The Lord, a great God, and a great King above all gods,
King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only wise,
Holy, holy, holy,
