 * I would seek unto God,
 * And unto God would I commit my cause:
 * Which doeth great things and unsearchable;

 * And sendeth waters upon the fields:
 * To set up on high those that be low;
 * That those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
 * He disappointeth the devices of the crafty,
 * So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
 * He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:
 * And the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
 * They meet with darkness in the daytime,
 * And grope in the noonday as in the night.
 * But he saveth the poor from the sword,
 * From their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
 * So the poor hath hope,
 * And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
 * Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
 * Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
 * For he maketh sore, and bindeth up:
 * He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
 * He shall deliver thee in six troubles:
 * Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
 * In famine he shall redeem thee from death:
