39. Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40. He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41. Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock.
42. The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43. Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
