He who made the (A)Pleiades and Orion,

[a]Who also (C)darkens day into night,
Who (D)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
The (E)Lord is His name.
It is He who (F)makes destruction flash upon the strong,
So that (G)destruction comes upon the fortress.

10 They hate him who (H)rebukes in the [b]gate,
And they (I)despise him who speaks with integrity.
