When I this thought to know, it was too hard a thing for me;

When I thought to know this, It was too painful for me;

But when I considered how to understand this, it was too great an effort for me and too painful

When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

But when I tried to understand these things, it just seemed like hard work

Yours is the day, and yours is the night. You have made the morning light and the sun.

Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.

Thy justice is like mountains great; thy judgments deep as floods: Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

Sure each man walks in a vain show; they vex themselves in vain: He heaps up wealth, and doth not know to whom it shall pertain.

Thy way is in the sea, and in the waters great thy path; Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord; none knowledge thereof hath.

Dark clouds him compass; and in right with judgment dwells his throne.
