The one who made the Pleiades and Orion,(A)
who turns darkness[a] into dawn(B)
and darkens day into night,(C)
who summons the water of the sea(D)
and pours it out over the surface of the earth(E)
the Lord is his name.(F)
He brings destruction[b] on the strong,[c](G)
and it falls on the fortress.(H)

10 They hate the one who convicts the guilty(I)
at the city gate,
and they despise(J) the one who speaks with integrity.
