²⁴ O Israel, how great is the house of God,
    how vast the territory that he possesses!
²⁵ It is great and has no bounds;
    it is high and immeasurable.
²⁶ The giants were born there, who were famous of old,
    great in stature, expert in war.^(A)
27 God did not choose them
    or give them the way to knowledge,^(B)
28 so they perished because they had no wisdom;
    they perished through their folly.

²⁹ Who has gone up into heaven and taken her
    and brought her down from the clouds?^(C)
30 Who has gone over the sea and found her
    and will buy her for pure gold?^(D)
31 No one knows the way to her
    or is concerned about the path to her.
³² But the one who knows all things knows her;
    he found her by his understanding.
The one who prepared the earth for all time
    filled it with four-footed creatures;^(E)
33 the one who sends forth the light and it goes,
    he called it, and it obeyed him, trembling;
³⁴ the stars shone in their watches and were glad;
³⁵     he called them, and they said, “Here we are!”
    They shone with gladness for him who made them.^(F)
36 This is our God;
    no other can be compared to him.
³⁷ He found the whole way to knowledge
    and gave her to his servant Jacob
    and to Israel, whom he loved.^(G)
