¹⁵ Nobody can speak the truth.
If anyone tries to stop doing evil things,
    other people will attack him.

The Lord saw how his people were living.
    He saw that there was no justice.
It made him very sad.
¹⁶ He saw that there was nobody who would help,
    and he was very upset.
So he used his own strength to help.
Because he had to do what was right,
    he made his people safe.
¹⁷ He always does what is right,
    like a soldier who always puts on his armour.
His power to save people
    is like the helmet that he wears.
He is angry against people who do evil things,
    and he works hard to punish them.
That is like the clothes that he wears.
