¹⁷ And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

⁵ Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

⁸ For not My thoughts `are' your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, -- an affirmation of Jehovah,

⁹ For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

¹¹ For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you -- an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.

¹⁹ How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,

⁷ How precious `is' Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

⁵ How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

³¹ Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights `are' with the sons of men.

⁹ and to cause all to see what `is' the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly `places', through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,
