5 I too give witness to the greatness of God, our Lord, high above all other gods. 6 He does just as he pleases - however, wherever, whenever. 7 He makes the weather - clouds and thunder, lightning and rain, wind pouring out of the north.
God is, and will be always, the same to his church, a gracious, faithful, wonder-working God. And his church is, and will be, the same to him, a thankful, praising people: thus his name endures for ever. He will return in ways of mercy to them, and will delight to do them good.
