“God is mighty,(A) but despises no one;(B)
    he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(C)
He does not keep the wicked alive(D)
    but gives the afflicted their rights.(E)
He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(F)

    and exalts them forever.(H)
But if people are bound in chains,(I)
    held fast by cords of affliction,(J)
he tells them what they have done—
    that they have sinned arrogantly.(K)
10 He makes them listen(L) to correction(M)
    and commands them to repent of their evil.(N)
11 If they obey and serve him,(O)
    they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(P)
    and their years in contentment.(Q)
