22  神却用自己的能力延长强暴的人的性命,

生命难保的仍然兴起。

23  神使他们安稳,他们就有所倚靠,

他的眼也看顾他们的道路。

24 他们被高举不过片时,就没有了,

他们降为卑,如众人一样被收拾起来,

他们又如谷穗枯干。

22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

22 “But God draws the mighty away with His power;
He rises up, but no man is sure of life.
23 He gives them security, and they rely on it;
Yet (A)His eyes are on their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while,
Then they are gone.
They are brought low;
They are [a]taken out of the way like all others;
They dry out like the heads of grain.
