23 surely no time is set for a personto appear before God in judgment.
24 He shatters the mighty without examining them;makes others take their place.
25 Thus he regards their deeds,overturns them at night, and they are crushed.
26 He strikes them because of their wickednessat a place where people can see it.
27 Because they turned from following himand didn’t value all his ways,
28 causing the cry of the poor to reach him,he hears the cry of the afflicted.
29 Still, if he remains quiet, who can condemn;if he hides his face, who can see him?
