Sirach 39:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Ascribe majesty to his name
and give thanks to him with praise,
with songs on your lips and with harps;
this is what you shall say in thanksgiving:(A)
16 “All the works of the Lord are very good,
and whatever he commands will be done at the appointed time.(B)
17 No one can say, ‘What is this?’ or ‘Why is that?’—
for at the appointed time everything will be made known.
At his word the waters stood in a heap
and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth.(C)
