CHAP. XLIII.
1 The workes of God in heauen, and in earth, and in the sea, are exceeding glorious and wonderfull. 29 Yet God himselfe in his power and wisedome is aboue all.
1The pride of the height, the cleare firmament, the beautie of heauen, with his glorious shew;
2The Sunne when it appeareth, declaring at his rising, a marueilous instrument, the worke of the most High.2
3At noone it parcheth the country, and who can abide the burning heate thereof?
5Great is the Lord that made it, and at his commandement it runneth hastily.5
6He made the Moone also to serue in her season, for a declaration of times, and a signe of the world.6
7From the Moone is the signe of Feasts, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.7
11Looke vpon the rainebow, and praise him that made it, very beautifull it is in the brightnesse thereof.11
12It compasseth the heauen about with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most high haue bended it.12
14Through this the treasures are opened, and clouds flie forth as foules.
15By his great power hee maketh the cloudes firme, and the hailestones are broken small.
16At his sight the mountaines are shaken, and at his will the South wind bloweth.
17The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the Northren storme, and the whirlewinde: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling downe thereof, is as the lighting of grashoppers.17
19The hoare frost also as salt hee powreth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the toppe of sharpe stakes.19
21It deuoureth the mountaines, and burneth the wildernesse, and consumeth the grasse as fire.
22A present remedy of all is a miste comming speedily: a dew comming after heate, refresheth.22
23By his counsell he appeaseth the deepe, and planteth Ilands therein.
25For therein be strange and wonderous workes, varietie of all kindes of beasts, and whales created.25
26By him the ende of them hath prosperous successe, and by his word all things consist.
27We may speake much, & yet come short: wherefore in summe, he is all.
28How shall wee be able to magnifie him? for hee is great aboue all his workes.
29The Lord is terrible and very great, and marueilous is his power.29
31Who hath seene him, that hee might tell vs? and who can magnifie him as he is?31
32There are yet hid greater things then these be, for wee haue seene but a few of his workes:
33For the Lord hath made all things, and to the godly hath hee giuen wisedome.
