    refine them as one refines silver,

    and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’ ”(A)

For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.(C)

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars that you have established;(A)
what are humans that you are mindful of them,
    mortals[a] that you care for them?(B)

Yet you have made them a little lower than God[b]
    and crowned them with glory and honor.(C)
