Wisdom of Ben Sira 39:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Proclaim the greatness of his name,
    and offer your praise and gratitude to him;
with songs accompanied by harps and stringed instruments,
    this is what you must say in thanksgiving:
¹⁶ “All the works of God are marvelous,
    and everything that he commands will occur at the designated time.
Let no one ask ‘What is this?’ or ‘Why is that?’
    In due time all such questions will be answered.^[a]
17 At his command the waters piled up,
    and the word of his mouth created reservoirs to encompass them.^[b]
