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

27 Why[a] do you say, Jacob,
    and you speak, Israel,
“My way is hidden from Yahweh,
    and my judgment is passed over by my God?”
28 Have you not known,
    or have you not heard?
Yahweh is the God of eternity,
    the creator of the ends of the earth!
He is not faint, and he does not grow weary!
    There is no searching his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weary,
    and he increases power for the powerless.[b]
30 Even[c] young people will be faint and grow weary,
    and the young will stumble, exhausted.
31 But[d] those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength.
    They shall go up with wings[e] like eagles;
they shall run and not grow weary;
    they shall walk and not be faint.
