3 I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe  righteousness.
         
                                
                        4 For, truly, my words [are] not false, The perfect in  knowledge [is] with thee.
         
                                
                        5 Lo, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty [in] power  [and] heart.
         
                                
                        6 He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor  appointeth;
         
                                
                        7 He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And [from]  kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they  are high,
         
                                
                        8 And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of  affliction,
         
                                
                        9 Then He declareth to them their work, And their  transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
