"How manifold are all thy works! They are hidden before us, O Thou sole god, whose powers no other possesseth. Thou didst create the earth according to thy desire. While thou wast alone: Men, all cattle large and small, All that are upon the earth, That go about upon their feet; All that are on high, That fly with their wings. The countries of Syria and Nubia, The land of Egypt; Thou settest every man in his place, Thou suppliest their necessities. Every one has his possessions, And his days are reckoned. Their tongues are divers in speech, Their form likewise and their skins, For thou divider, hast divided the peoples."
