²⁷ You Israelites, descendants of Jacob, say,
    ‘The Lord does not know about our troubles.
    He does not bring justice to us.’
Why do you say that?
²⁸ You must surely know what is true!
    You must have heard about it.
The Lord is the God who lives for ever.
    He made the whole earth, near and far.
He never becomes tired or weak.
    He knows and he understands everything.
²⁹ He makes tired people strong again.
When people have become weak,
    he gives them more strength.
