3 And our God `is' in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done?
thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who `art' in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.
in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah `is' His name, and exult before Him.
Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, `My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
