“But I would seek El’s help
    and present my case to Elohim.
He does great things that we cannot understand
    and miracles that we cannot count.
10 He gives rain to the earth
    and sends water to the fields.
11 He places lowly people up high.
    He lifts those who mourn to safety.
12 He keeps shrewd people from carrying out their plans
    so that they cannot do anything successfully.
13 He catches the wise with their own tricks.
    The plans of schemers prove to be hasty.
14 In the daytime they meet darkness
    and grope in the sunlight as if it were night.

15 “But he saves other people from their slander
    and the needy from the power of the mighty.
16 Then the poor have hope
    while wrongdoing shuts its mouth.
