“God is mighty,(A) but despises no one;(B)
    he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(C)
He does not keep the wicked alive(D)
    but gives the afflicted their rights.(E)
He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(F)
    he enthrones them with kings(G)
    and exalts them forever.(H)
But if people are bound in chains,(I)
    held fast by cords of affliction,(J)
he tells them what they have done—
    that they have sinned arrogantly.(K)
10 He makes them listen(L) to correction(M)
    and commands them to repent of their evil.(N)
11 If they obey and serve him,(O)
    they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(P)
    and their years in contentment.(Q)

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
