But you even break off piety, and hinder meditation before God.

Thick clouds are a veil for him, so he does not see us, as he goes back and forth in the vault of heaven.’

Does he not see my ways and count all my steps?

For his eyes are on the ways of an individual, he observes all a person’s steps.

Therefore people fear him, for he does not regard all the wise in heart.”

Let its morning stars be darkened; let it wait for daylight but find none, nor let it see the first rays of dawn,

For he looks to the ends of the earth and observes everything under the heavens.

It looks on every haughty being; it is king over all that are proud.”
