Latter-Day Psalms/Omnipotence
OMNIPOTENCE
I went into an open place under the stars. The city lay beneath me, and her sound was subdued.I saw that the hosts of heaven perform that which was ordained in the beginning. The city was ordained in the beginning also.I looked into the far place beyond the stars. I hearkened to a little wind of the earth whispering among the grasses.And a great fear fell upon me out of the heavens, because of the majesty of God.I said, "How shall I call thee just or unjust? Thou art mighty, and I am very small.I am weary of myself because I am so small. I am contemptible in my own eyes because thou hast ordained what I must will.Wherefore hast thou sickened this thy little earth with a fever of life? Wherefore hast thou made the swarms of men to fret upon her? Thou hast made the heavens for thy plaything. Thou breakest the heart of man like a toy."My spirit was dried up within me. I sat without meditation.
