MLV(i)
19 who does not respect the persons of rulers, nor regards the rich more than the poor. For they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away and the mighty are taken away without hand.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man and he sees all his goings. 22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom where the workers of wickedness may hide themselves. 23 For he needs no further to consider a man, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out and sets others in their stead. 25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He slaps them as wicked men in the open sight of others 27 because they turned aside from following him and would not have regard in any of his ways, 28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him and he heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hides his face, who then can behold him? It is the same whether to a nation, or to a man,
