2. 2

   Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3. 3

   Is there any numbering of his soldiers; and upon whom shall not his light arise?

4. 4

   Can man be justified, compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5. 5

   Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6. 6

   How much less man that is rottenness, and the son of man who is a worm?
