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. ‡
