8 Job, if I were you,I would ask God for help.
9 His miracles are marvellous,more than we can count.
10 God sends showers on earthand waters the fields.
11 He protects the sorrowfuland lifts up thosewho have been disgraced.
12-13 God swiftly traps the wickedin their own evil schemes,and their wisdom fails.
14 Darkness is their only companion,hiding their path at midday.
15 God rescues the needyfrom the words of the wickedand the fist of the mighty.
