“Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Does it seem good to You that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked?
“Dominion and fear belong to Him; He makes peace in His high places.
“If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant When they complained against me,
As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, In judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress.
“How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?
If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?
He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer.
Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.
For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners.
The King’s strength also loves justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.
