Legacy Standard Bible
22 Behold, God is exalted in His power;
Who is a (A)teacher like Him?
23 Who has appointed Him His way,
And who has said, ‘(B)You have worked out [a]unrighteousness’?
24 “Remember that you should (C)exalt His work,
Of which men have (D)sung.
25 All men have beheld it;
Man looks from afar.

The (G)number of His years is unsearchable.
