By the breath of GOD, is given - frost, and, the breadth of waters, is congealed;

Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders of GOD: -

Out of the north, a golden light cometh, Upon GOD, is fearful splendour:

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Who prepareth for the Raven his nourishment, - when his young ones - unto GOD - cry out, when they wander for lack of food?

For GOD hath suffered her to forget wisdom, and given her no share in understanding.

Shall a reprover contend, with the Almighty? He that disputeth with GOD, let him answer it!

But if, an arm like GOD, thou hast, and, with a voice like his, thou canst thunder,

He, is the beginning of the ways of GOD, Let his maker, present him his sword:

Multitudes, are saying of my soul, - No salvation for him in God. Selah.

Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.

When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, - Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: -

O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, - Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:

O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:

A God to vindicate the righteous, - and yet a Got to be indignant throughout every day.
