¹⁷ How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!^(A)

⁵ You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
    your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
    none can compare with you.
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
    they would be more than can be counted.^(A)

⁸ For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.^(A)

³¹ playing in his inhabited world
    and delighting in the human race.^(A)
