4. Thy power is from generation to generation; and thy glory for ever
and ever.
5. Deep are all thy secrets, and numberless; and thy righteousness
cannot be computed.
6. Now we know, that we should glorify and bless the Lord of kings, him
who is King over all things.
7. They shall also say, Who has granted us rest to glorify, laud, bless,
and confess in the presence of his glory?
8. And now small is the rest we desire; but we do not find _it_; we
reject, and do not possess _it_. Light has passed away from before us;
and darkness _has covered_ our thrones for ever.
9. For we have not confessed before him; we have not glorified the name
of the Lord of kings; we have not glorified the Lord in all his works;
but we have trusted in the sceptre of our dominion and of our glory.
10. In the day of our suffering and of our trouble he will not save us,
neither shall we find rest. We confess that our Lord is faithful in all
his works, in all his judgments, and in his righteousness.
11. In his judgments he pays no respect to persons; and we must depart
from his presence, on account of our _evil_ deeds.
