This song was composed and performed by my brother-in-law. It is sung using the modern Greek and Hebrew pronunciation. Based on the end of Romans 11.

Hi, Aaron.

Very well done! Tell your brother-in-law to keep it up.

Very nice - has he done other songs in biblical Greek?

Yes... he's got one other one that has been recorded based on John 17:17, and one that he hasn't recorded yet, based on Hebrews 12:18-19, 22. I'll see if I can get the John 17 one onto YouTube.

By request, here are the lyrics:

Ὦ βάθος πλούτου
καὶ σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως θεοῦ•
ὡς ἀνεξεραύνητα
τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστοι
αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ.

מִי־תִכֵּן אֶת־רוּחַ ה׳* וְאִישׁ עֲצָתוֹ יוֹדִיעֶנּוּ׃
מִי הִקְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּם, מִי הִקְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּם

ὅτι ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα• αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ἀμήν.

(* This represents the name of God, pronounced as הַשֵּׁם in the song in deference to Jewish custom.)
