16 The light of the sun shines down on everything,
    and everything is filled with the Lord's glory.
17 Not even to his holy angels has the Lord given power
    to describe all his mighty deeds,
even though he has given them power
    to stand unharmed in his glorious presence.[a]
18 He sees into the oceans and into the human heart,
    and he knows the secrets of both.
The Most High knows everything that can be known
    and understands the signs of the ages.
