39 But he poured out contempt on princes,made them wander trackless wastes,
40 Where they were diminished and brought lowthrough misery and cruel oppression.
41 While he released the poor man from affliction,and increased their families like flocks.
42 The upright saw this and rejoiced;all wickedness shut its mouth.
43 Whoever is wise will take note of these things,and ponder the merciful deeds of the Lord.
