For those who turn (A)justice into wormwood
And [a]cast righteousness down to the earth.”

He who made the (B)Pleiades and Orion
And (C)changes deep darkness into morning,
[b]Who also (D)darkens day into night,
Who (E)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
The (F)Lord is His name.
It is He who (G)flashes forth with destruction upon the strong,
So that (H)destruction comes upon the fortress.
