⁹ Who is doing great things, even beyond searching; marvelous things without number, ¹⁰ who gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the field, ¹¹ to set on high those who are low, so that those who mourn may be lifted up to safety; ¹² frustrating the plans of the crafty, nor did their hands do wisely. ¹³ He takes the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong. ¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night. ¹⁵ But He saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. ¹⁶ And there is hope for the weak, and injustice shuts her mouth.
