Lo these are the outskirts of his ways;

And how small a whisper is that which we hear of him!

But the thunder of his power who can understand?

And what we hear of Him is but as a faint whisper; the thunder of the full unfolding of His power who can understand? The nervous brevity and sublimity of these words are unsurpassable.
