<p class="poetry">Is my strength like that of stones?<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or is my flesh made of bronze?p>

<p class="poetry">By his power he stills<n id="1" /> the sea;p> <p class="poetry">by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster<n id="2" /> to pieces.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">There<n id="1" /> the wicked<n id="2" /> cease<n id="3" /> from turmoil,<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">and there the weary<n id="5" /> are at rest.p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Have I<n id="1" /> ever said,<n id="2" /> &#8216;Give me something,p> <p class="poetry">and from your fortune<n id="3" /> make gifts<n id="4" /> in my favor&#8217;?p>

<p class="poetry">He is wise in heart<n id="1" /> and mighty<n id="2" /> in strength<n id="3" /> &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">who has resisted<n id="4" /> him and remained safe?<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">If it is a matter of strength,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">most certainly<n id="2" /> he is the strong one!p> <p class="poetry">And if it is a matter of justice,p> <p class="poetry">he will say, &#8216;Who will summon me?&#8217;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">But God<n id="1" /> drags off the mighty by his power;p> <p class="poetry">when God<n id="2" /> rises up against him, he has no faith in his life.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">&#8220;How you have helped<n id="1" /> the powerless!<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">How you have saved the person who has no strength!<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Moreover, the strength of their<n id="1" /> hands &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">what use was it to me?p> <p class="poetry">Men whose strength<n id="2" /> had perished;p>

<p class="poetry">With great power God<n id="1" /> grasps my clothing;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">he binds me like the collar<n id="3" /> of my tunic.p>

<p class="poetry">if I have eaten its produce without paying,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or caused the death<n id="2" /> of its owners,<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">he<n id="2" /> is mighty, and firm<n id="3" /> in his intent.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">Would your wealth<n id="1" /> sustain you,p> <p class="poetry">so that you would not be in distress,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">even all your mighty efforts?<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Indeed, God is exalted in his power;p> <p class="poetry">who is a teacher<n id="1" /> like him?p>

<p class="poetry">Will you rely on it because its strength is great?p> <p class="poetry">Will you commit<n id="1" /> your labor to it?p>

<p class="poetry">It<n id="1" /> paws the ground in the valley,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">exulting mightily,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">it goes out to meet the weapons.p>

<p class="poetry">Look<n id="1" /> at its strength in its loins,p> <p class="poetry">and its power in the muscles of its belly.p>

<p class="poetry">What is my strength, that I should wait?<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and what is my end,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">that I should prolong my life?p>

<p class="poetry">Would he contend<n id="1" /> with me with great power?p> <p class="poetry">No, he would only pay attention to me.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">As for the Almighty,<n id="1" /> we cannot attain to him!p> <p class="poetry">He is great in power,p> <p class="poetry">but justice<n id="2" /> and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.p>
