IfI sin,then You would takenoteof me, And would not acquitme of my guilt.
"But He is uniqueand whocan turnHim? And [what] His souldesires,that He does.
"For He performswhatis appointedfor me, And manysuch[decrees] are with Him.
When He actson the left,I cannotbehold[Him]; He turnson the right,I cannotseeHim.
Truly,You are a Godwho hidesHimself, O Godof Israel,Savior!
The One forminglightand creatingdarkness,Causingwell-beingand creatingcalamity;I am the LORDwho doesallthese.
Whois therewho speaksand it comesto pass,Unlessthe Lordhas commanded[it]?
Oh,the depthof the richesbothof the wisdomand knowledgeof God!Howunsearchableare His judgmentsand unfathomableHis ways!
[This was] in accordancewith the eternalpurposewhichHe carriedout in ChristJesusour Lord,
Seenowthat I, I am He, And thereis nogodbesidesMe; It is I who putto deathand givelife.I have woundedand it is I who heal,And thereis noonewho can deliverfrom My hand.
