That bringeth out their host by number:
He calleth them all by names by the

Not one faileth.

Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

Which removeth the mountains, and they
know not:

Which overturneth them in his anger.
Which shaketh the earth out of her place,
And the pillars thereof tremble.
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth

not;

And sealeth up the stars.

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens,
And treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and
Pleiades,

And the chambers of the south.

Which doeth great things past finding out;
Yea, and wonders without number.

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
That the everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Fainteth not, neither is weary ?

He giveth power to the faint;

And to them that have no might he in-
creaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall.

renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings as eagles;
They shall run, and not be weary;
