If it is a matter of strength, look, He is the Mighty One!
If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

I wish that someone might arbitrate
between a man and God
just as a man pleads for his friend.

Yet God drags away the mighty by His power;
when He rises up, they have no assurance of life.

These are but the fringes of His ways;
how faint is the word we hear of Him!
Who can understand His mighty thunder?

Could one who hates justice govern the world?
Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One,

They die suddenly in the middle of the night;
people shudder, then pass away.
Even the mighty are removed without effort.

He shatters the mighty without an investigation
and sets others in their place.

People cry out because of severe oppression;
they shout for help because of the arm of the mighty.

Yes, God is mighty, but He despises no one;
He understands all things.

For He says to the snow, “Fall to the earth,”
and the torrential rains, His mighty torrential rains,

When Leviathan rises, the mighty are terrified;
they withdraw because of his thrashing.
