Lo! GOD, is mighty, yet will he not despise, Mighty in vigour of mind;

He will not keep alive one who is lawless, but, the right of oppressed ones, will he grant;

He will not withdraw - from a righteous one - his eyes, - but, with kings on the throne, He hath seated men triumphantly, and they have been exalted.

But, if, bound in fetters, they have been captured with cords of affliction,

Then hath he declared to them their deed, and their transgressions - that they were wont to behave themselves proudly;

Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and said - that they should turn from iniquity.

If they would hearken, and serve, they should complete their days, in prosperity, and their years, in pleasantness;

But, if they would not hearken, by a weapon, should they pass away, and breathe their last, no one knowing.
