20 We may suddenly die at night.God strikes us down and we perish;he kills the mighty with no effort at all.
21 He watches every step we take.
22 There is no darkness dark enoughto hide a sinner from God.
23 God does not need to set a timefor us to go and be judged by him.
24 He does not need an investigationto remove leaders and replace them with others.
25 Because he knows what they do;he overthrows them and crushes them by night.
26 He punishes sinners where all can see it,
