THE CONFESSIONS OF S. AUGUSTINE. 15
GREAT art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and Thy wis- dom infinite. And Thee would man praise; man, but a particle of Thy creation; man, that bears about him his mortality, the witness of his sin, the witness that Thou resistest the proud: yet would man praise Thee; he, but a particle of Thy creation. Thou awakest us to delight in Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thee, and our heart is restless, until it re- pose in Thee.
Great are you, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is your power, and infinite is your wisdom. And man desires to praise you, for he is a part of your creation.
You have prompted him to delight in praising you, for you have made us for yourself, and restless is our heart until it comes to rest in you.
