19. Blossom with flowers, like the lily, and diffuse a fragrance, and sprout leaves in grace, and give praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works.
20. Give magnificence to his name, and confess to him with the voice of your lips and with the canticles of your mouth and with stringed instruments. And in so praising him, you will confess:
21. All the works of the Lord are very good.
22. At his word, the waters stood still, as if piled together. And at the words of his mouth, the waters were contained, as if in basins of water.
23. For it is made pleasing by his precept, and there is no decrease in his salvation.
24. The works of all flesh are in his sight, and there is nothing hidden from his eyes.
25. His gaze is from eternity to eternity, and nothing is a wonder in his sight.
26. Let it not be said: "What is this?" or, "What is that?" For all things will be sought in their time.
27. His blessing has overflowed like a river.
28. In the same way that a flood inundates the dry land, so also will his wrath inherit the peoples that have not sought him.
29. In the same way that he turned the waters into dry land, and made the earth dry, and just as his ways have been directed for their journey, so also will sinners stumble before his wrath.
30. From the beginning, good things were created for those who are good, and similarly, good and evil things are for those who are wicked.
