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.

In Praise of God’s Ways

33 O how deep are God’s riches,
    and wisdom, and knowledge!
How unfathomable are his decisions
    and unexplainable are his ways!
34 Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has become his advisor?[a]
35 Or who has given him something
    only to have him pay it back?”[b]
36 For all things are from him, by him, and for him.
    Glory belongs to him forever! Amen.
