10 he gives (A)rain on the earth
    and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (B)sets on high those who are lowly,
    and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (C)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
    so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (D)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
    and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
    and (E)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (F)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
    and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
    and (G)injustice shuts her mouth.
