Chapter 3

← Chapter 2Chapter 4
1

O Jehovih, give me words rich in Your praise; my soul is like a fountain springing up out of the earth.

2

I would look upon You; into Your face, O my Creator, Who takes away my breath by the awe of Your countenance.

3

You, Who fashioned the broad earth and the high heavens! O, the works of Your hand, Jehovih!

4

Where shall I start with my song to You; or find words to laud the Almighty?

5

Proclaim His Unity, O my beloved; proclaim Him, in one breath, together, O all you people, Jehovih! Jehovih!

6

O if I could magnify words to Your Omnipotence, or hold up the perfection of Your Person in fine speech!

7

But I am as one distracted by the overwhelming scene. My words stumble and stop continually before Your surprising creations.

8

O if only I could find a starting point; or knew a way to make rhymes and meters without rules, like the works of Jehovih! SAR Chapter 4 Bon’s Praise
