Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase en ophthalmois hēmōn {ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν | en ophthalmoîs hēmôn} functions idiomatically to convey subjective evaluation, “in our eyes,” expressing a communal recognition of God’s work. In English, the formal reconstruction preserves the basic order while smoothing idiom, and the dynamic reconstruction promotes “the Lord” to subject position to keep the focus on His active role while retaining the contrast between divine action and human amazement.
