14. Send up the sweet odor of incense,break forth in blossoms like the lily.Raise your voices in a chorus of praise;bless the Lord for all his works!
15. Proclaim the greatness of his name,loudly sing his praises,With music on the harp and all stringed instruments;sing out with joy as you proclaim:
16. The works of God are all of them good;he supplies for every need in its own time.
17. At his word the waters become still as in a flask;he had but to speak and the reservoirs were made.
18. He has but to command and his will is done;nothing can limit his saving action.
19. The works of all humankind are present to him;nothing is hidden from his eyes.
20. His gaze spans all the ages:is there any limit to his saving action?To him, nothing is small or insignificant,and nothing too wonderful or hard for him.
21. No cause then to say: “What is the purpose of this?”Everything is chosen to satisfy a need.
