²¹ “For his eyes are on the ways of a man.
    He sees all his goings.
²² There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,
    where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
²³ For he doesn’t need to consider a man further,
    that he should go before God in judgment.
²⁴ He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out,
    and sets others in their place.
²⁵ Therefore he takes knowledge of their works.
    He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
²⁶ He strikes them as wicked men
    in the open sight of others;
²⁷ because they turned away from following him,
    and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
²⁸ so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him.
    He heard the cry of the afflicted.
²⁹ When he gives quietness, who then can condemn?
    When he hides his face, who then can see him?
    He is over a nation or a man alike,
³⁰ that the godless man may not reign,
    that there be no one to ensnare the people.
