²⁶ Lo, God `is' high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there `is' no searching.

² Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou `art' God.

¹² and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

¹² for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

³ Great `is' Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching.

²³ The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,

⁵ God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.

⁷ By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?

⁸ Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?

⁹ Longer than earth `is' its measure, And broader than the sea.

⁸ And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord `is' as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

¹⁴ Lo, these `are' the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?

⁵ As the days of man `are' Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man?

²⁷ But, is it true? -- God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!

²⁴ I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations `are' Thine years.

²⁵ Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands `are' the heavens.

²⁶ They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

²⁷ And Thou `art' the same, and Thine years are not finished.
