17 Will one who hates justice rule;will you condemn the most righteous one?
18 Will you say to a king, "Worthless!"to royalty, "Evil!"
19 Who shows no favor to princesnor regards the rich over the poor,for they are all the work of God’s hands?
20 In the middle of the night they suddenly die;people are shaken and pass away.The mighty are removed, not by a human hand.
21 God’s eyes are on human ways,and he sees all their steps.
22 There’s no darkness, no deep darkness,where evildoers can hide themselves;
23 surely no time is set for a personto appear before God in judgment.
