1And I besought the Mighty One, and said: 'Thou alone, O Yahuah (Lord), knowest of aforetime the deep things of the world, And the things which befall in their times Thou bringest about by Thy word, And against the works of the inhabitants of the earth Thou dost hasten the beginnings of the times, And the end of the seasons Thou alone knowest.
2(Thou) for whom nothing is too hard, But who dost everything easily by a nod:
3(Thou) to whom the depths come as the heights, And whose word the beginnings of the ages serve:
4(Thou) who revealest to those who fear Thee what is prepared for them, That thenceforth they may be comforted.
5Thou showest great acts to those who know not; Thou breakest up the enclosure of those who are ignorant, And lightest up what is dark, And revealest what is hidden to the pure, [Who in faith have submitted themselves to Thee and Thy law.]
6Thou hast shown to Thy servant this vision; Reveal to me also its interpretation.
