²³ The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,

¹⁶ who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom `is' honour and might age-during! Amen.

⁴ And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.

⁵ Lo, God `is' mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty `in' power `and' heart.

⁴ Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace?

⁷ By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?

³³ O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

²¹ Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I -- Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.

⁹ In all their distress `He is' no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

³² For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.

³³ For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

²³ Do I at all desire the death of the wicked? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Is it not in his turning back from his way -- And he hath lived?

³² For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live!

¹³ `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory -- to the ages. Amen.

²² `All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal `Him'.'

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

¹¹ The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even unto the end.

³ Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What `is' His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

¹⁹ If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who doth convene me?

¹³ With Him `are' wisdom and might, To him `are' counsel and understanding.

⁷ Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my company,

⁸ And Thou dost loathe me, For a witness it hath been, And rise up against me doth my failure, In my face it testifieth.

⁹ His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me.

¹⁰ They have gaped on me with their mouth, In reproach they have smitten my cheeks, Together against me they set themselves.

¹¹ God shutteth me up unto the perverse, And to the hands of the wicked turneth me over.

¹² At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark.

¹³ Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.

¹⁴ He breaketh me -- breach upon breach, He runneth upon me as a mighty one.

¹⁵ Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin, And have rolled in the dust my horn.

¹⁶ My face is foul with weeping, And on mine eyelids `is' death-shade.

¹⁷ Not for violence in my hands, And my prayer `is' pure.

¹⁴ Lo, these `are' the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?

²⁶ Lo, God `is' high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there `is' no searching.

¹⁹ Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.

⁵ For -- a moment `is' in His anger, Life `is' in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

⁵ O Jehovah, in the heavens `is' Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness `is' unto the clouds.

⁶ Thy righteousness `is' as mountains of God, Thy judgments `are' a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

⁷ How precious `is' Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

¹¹ Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength `is' with God.'

⁶ Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

³ Say to God, `How fearful `are' Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

¹ Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

⁷ Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

³ Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?
