Translation
He who thinketh upon the Ancient, the Omniscient, the All-Ruler, minuter than the minute, the supporter of all, of form unimaginable, refulgent as the sun beyond the darkness,

Explanation
The description of what’s being meditated upon shifts here to a string of cosmic epithets — the Ancient, the Omniscient, the All-Ruler, subtler than the subtle, sun-colored beyond the darkness — imagery that returns in far more expansive form in chapter 11’s theophany. Verses 9 and 10 form one continuous sentence in a longer meter than the surrounding two-line verses, which is why this verse ends mid-thought and needs verse 10 to complete it.
