The lord

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”

He blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,

Possessor of heaven and earth;

The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,
But the earth He has given to the sons of men.

Hast praised

Now the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said,
“Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.”

Which

Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.

The idols of the nations are but silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.

and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them.

“Those who lavish gold from the purse
And weigh silver on the scale
Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
They bow down, indeed they worship it.

“What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it,
Or an image, a teacher of falsehood?
For its maker trusts in his own handiwork
When he fashions speechless idols.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

In whose

Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

In whose hand is the life of every living thing,

And the breath of all mankind?

“If He should determine to do so,
If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,

You hide Your face, they are dismayed;
You take away their spirit, they expire
And return to their dust.

His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.

Thus says God the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,

nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;

And whose

“Does He not see my ways
And number all my steps?

You

scrutinize my path and my lying down,

And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

Man’s steps are ordained by the Lord,

How then can man understand his way?

I know, O Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself,

Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Hast thou

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
