you have understanding, listen to this,
hear
what I have to say.
17
Do
you really think
that
one who hates justice can govern?
And
will you declare guilty
the
supremely righteous One,
18
who
says to a king, ‘Worthless man’
and
to nobles, ‘Wicked men,’
19
who
shows no partiality to princes,
and
does not take note of the rich more than the poor,
because
all of them are the work of his hands?

he should come before God in judgment.

shatters the great without inquiry,
and
sets up others in their place.

he knows their deeds,
he
overthrows them in the night
and
they are crushed.
26
He
strikes them for their wickedness,
in a
place where people can see,
27
because
they have turned away from following him,
and
have not understood any of his ways,
28
so
that they caused the cry of the poor
to
come before him,
so
that he hears the cry of the needy.
29
But
if God is quiet, who can condemn him?
If
he hides his face, then who can see him?

he is over the individual and the nation alike,
30
so
that the godless man should not rule,
and
not lay snares for the people.
