²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we don't know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

¹² As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail."

¹² For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

³ Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

²³ We can't reach the Almighty, He is exalted in power; In justice and great righteousness he will not oppress.

⁵ God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

¹⁴ Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"

⁵ Are your days as the days of mortals, Or your years as man's years,

²⁷ But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

²⁴ I said, "My God, don't take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

²⁵ Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

²⁶ They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

²⁷ But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
