Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Lord my God, You have done so many amazing things, and Your thoughts toward us are countless. There's no way to list them all or put them in order. Even if I tried to tell everyone about them, there would be too many to count.
The writer is overwhelmed by God's countless wonderful works and loving thoughts toward people - they're simply too many to ever list or fully describe.
📚 Historical Context

In ancient Israel, recounting God's mighty works was a central part of worship and testimony. The phrase 'wonderful works' would have reminded Hebrew readers of God's miracles in their history - the exodus from Egypt, victories in battle, and daily provisions.
