And I have not learned wisdom,
    nor will I know knowledge of the Holy One.[a]
Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
    Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of his hand?
    Who has wrapped water in a[b] garment?
    Who has established all the ends of the earth?

    For surely you know.
Every word of God is flawless;
    he is a shield for him who takes refuge in him.
