31 For no one is cast offby the Lord for ever.
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,so great is his unfailing love.
33 For he does not willingly bring afflictionor grief to anyone.
34 To crush underfootall prisoners in the land,
35 to deny people their rightsbefore the Most High,
36 to deprive them of justice –would not the Lord see such things?
37 Who can speak and have it happenif the Lord has not decreed it?
