God scrutinizes the whole earth, and commands all things,

and beholds all the words and deeds of man.

He conducts His management with measured steps and according to His plan,

silently and without dramatic effect,

yet His footsteps advance, one by one, ever closer to mankind,

and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe

at the speed of lightning, at the speed of lightning,

following which His throne immediately descends

into our midst, into our midst.

What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau!

Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit comes into our midst.

He is wisdom, He is wisdom, He is righteousness and majesty,

and He comes surreptitiously into our midst,

wielding authority and filled with love and mercy.

He is wisdom, He is wisdom, He is righteousness and majesty,

and He comes surreptitiously into our midst,

wielding authority and filled with love and mercy.
