2 “Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.

3 ¹Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does ^aHis light not rise? ‡

4 ^aHow then can man be righteous before God?
Or how can he be ^bpure who is born of a woman? ‡

5 If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His ^asight, ‡

6 How much less man, who is ^aa maggot,
And a son of man, who is a worm?” ‡
