39. Again, they are diminished and bowed downthrough oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40. He pours contempt on princes,and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
41. Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction,and increases their families like a flock.
42. The upright will see it, and be glad.All the wicked will shut their mouths.
43. Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things.They will consider the loving kindnesses of the Lord.
