16 The sun looks down on everything with its light,
    and the work of the Lord is full of his glory.
17 The Lord has not enabled his holy ones
    to recount all his marvelous works,
which the Lord the Almighty has established
    that the universe may stand firm in his glory.
18 He searches out the abyss, and the hearts of men,[a]
    and considers their crafty devices.
For the Most High knows all that may be known,
    and he looks into the signs[b] of the age.
