The Psalms of Thanksgiving To YAHWEH
12
O YAHWEH, THY Wondrous Works
I give thanks unto Thee, 0 YAHWEH,
for Thou hast given me insight into Thy truth
and knowledge of Thy wondrous secrets.
In lovingkindness to lowly man,
in abundance of mercy to wayward hearts,
who is like Thee among the gods, 0 YAHWEH,
and what truth is like Thine?
Who can prove righteous in Thy sight
when Thou bringest him unto judgment?
Not even a spirit can answer Thy charge,
and none can withstand Thy wrath.
Yet, all that are children of Thy truth
Thou bringest before Thee with forgiveness,
cleansing them of their transgressions
through Thine abundant goodness,
and, through Thy plenteous mercies,
causing them to stand in Thy presence for ever.
For Thou, YAHWEH, art everlasting,
and all Thy ways hold firm for all time;
and there is none else beside Thee.
But what is man-vain, empty man,
that he should understand Thy wondrous works
or be enlightened therein?
