26 He strikes them as wicked menin the open sight of others;
27 because they turned away from following him,and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him.He heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn?When he hides his face, who then can see him?Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,
30 that the godless man may not reign,that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 “For has any said to God,‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
32 Teach me that which I don’t see.If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
