What

O Yahweh! what is the earthborn, And yet thou hast acknowledged him, - the son of a mortal, And yet thou hast taken account of him:

But, in very deed, will God dwell with man on the earth? Lo! the heavens, even the leaven of heavens, cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built!

What is a mortal, that thou shouldst nurture him? Or that thou shouldst fix upon him thy mind?

How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?

All nations, are as nothing before him, - A thing of nought or a waste, are they accounted unto him?

But one somewhere hath borne witness, saying - What is man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? Or the son of man, that thou shouldst put him in charge?

Visitest

Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;

Now, Yahweh, visited Sarah, as he had said, - And Yahweh did for Sarah as he had spoken.

And the people believed, - and when they heard that Yahweh had concerned himself for the sons of Israel, and that he had looked upon their humiliation, then bent they their heads and bowed themselves down.

Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,

And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation.

Having, your behaviour among the nations, honourable, - in order that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may, owing to the honourable works they are permitted to behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
