²⁶ When He made a ^(A)limit for the rain,
And a course for the ^(B)thunderbolt,
²⁷ Then He saw it and declared it;
He established it and also searched it out.
²⁸ And to mankind He said, ‘Behold, the ^(C)fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

²⁴ Lord, how ^(A)many are Your works!
^[a]In ^(B)wisdom You have made them all;
The ^(C)earth is full of Your ^[b]possessions.

¹⁹ The Lord founded the earth ^(A)by wisdom,
He ^(B)established the heavens by understanding.
