Sirach 39:15-17
Revised Standard Version
Sirach 39:15-17
Revised Standard Version
15 ascribe majesty to his name
and give thanks to him with praise,
with songs on your lips, and with lyres;
and this you shall say in thanksgiving:
16 “All things are the works of the Lord, for they are very good,
and whatever he commands will be done in his time.”
17 No one can say, “What is this?” “Why is that?”
for in God’s[a] time all things will be sought after.
At his word the waters stood in a heap,
and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth.
