39 But when they are diminished and brought downthrough oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40 He pours contempt upon princes,and causes them to wander in a wilderness with no road;
41 yet He raises up the poor from afflictionand cares for their families like flocks of sheep.
42 The righteous shall see it and rejoice,and all evil people shall stop their mouth.
43 Whoever is wise let him observe these things;let them consider the lovingkindness of the Lord.
