9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
10 aHe gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.
11 aHe sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 aHe frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
13 He catches the
awise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
15 But
aHe saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16 aSo the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
