26 Lift your eyes up on high, and see! Who created these?
    The one who brings out their host by number.
He calls all them by name.
    Because he is great of power
        and mighty of power, no man is missing.
27 Why[a] do you say, Jacob,
    and you speak, Israel,
“My way is hidden from Yahweh,
    and my judgment is passed over by my God?”
28 Have you not known,
    or have you not heard?
Yahweh is the God of eternity,
    the creator of the ends of the earth!
He is not faint, and he does not grow weary!
    There is no searching his understanding.
