A Hymn of Praise

33 Oh, the depth of the riches(A)
and the wisdom and the knowledge of God!(B)
How unsearchable his judgments(C)
and untraceable his ways!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord?(D)
Or who has been his counselor?
35 And who has ever given to God,
that he should be repaid?[a](E)
36 For from him and through him
and to him are all things.(F)
To him be the glory forever. Amen.

  1. 11:34–35 Jb 41:11; Is 40:13; Jr 23:18

33 God’s riches, wisdom, and knowledge are so deep! They are as mysterious as his judgments, and they are as hard to track as his paths!

34 Who has known the Lord’s mind?
    Or who has been his mentor?[a]
35 Or who has given him a gift
    and has been paid back by him?[b]
36 All things are from him and through him and for him.
    May the glory be to him forever. Amen.
