otherwise I could hide from him.

He reaches down from heaven and saves me,

challenging the one who tramples me.Selah

The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker,

and one who rejoices over calamity

Be wise, my son, and bring my heart joy,

so that I can answer anyone who taunts me.

They will all be left for the birds of prey on the hills

and for the wild animals of the land.

and all the wild animals the winter.

against the people of the LORD of Armies.
