who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
He frustrates the plans of the crafty, So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
