27 (A)Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel,
“My way is (B)hidden from the Lord,
And the (C)justice due me [a]escapes the notice of (D)my God”?
28 (E)Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The (F)Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is (G)inscrutable.
29 He gives strength to the (H)weary,
And to him who lacks might He (I)increases power.
30 Though (J)youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous (K)young men stumble badly,
31 Yet those who [b]wait for the Lord
Will (L)gain new strength;
They will [c](M)mount up with [d]wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
    Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
    my cause is disregarded by my God”?(A)
28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?(B)
The Lord is the everlasting(C) God,
    the Creator(D) of the ends of the earth.(E)
He will not grow tired or weary,(F)
    and his understanding no one can fathom.(G)
29 He gives strength(H) to the weary(I)
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men(J) stumble and fall;(K)
31 but those who hope(L) in the Lord
    will renew their strength.(M)
They will soar on wings like eagles;(N)
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.(O)
