how inscrutable your ways, O Lord God.
You watch over us to pluck us out and break us down,
or so it seems; but you also watch over us to build and to plant.
At times we hear the whispering of terror all around;
at times we feel you unbinding us, letting us go.
How unsearchable your judgments,
inscrutable your ways.

Selected Verses
Ps. 43:13
For I hear the whispering of many—
terror all around!—
as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
Jer. 31:28
And just as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the LORD.
Rom. 11:33
O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
John 11:43-44
When [Jesus] had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
