As for our Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts is his name. He is the God of forces, mighty to save; and there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

'The Lord will work, and who shall let it? Who will say unto him, What doest thou? He is in one mind, and who can turn him? The Lord hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? And who can make that straight which he hath made crooked?

3 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth not? When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him, whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only.

Who is able to stand before him? Who may stand in his sight, when he is once angry? Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? In his hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand him; neither is there any that can deliver out of his hand.

5 The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God; For the weakness of God is stronger than men; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

6

Why then doth thy heart carry thee away, that thou turnest thy spirit against God? Hast thou an arm like God? Or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? Can thine heart endure, or can thy hands be strong in the days that he shall deal with thee?

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty: Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; behold every one that is proud, and bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place then will I also confess unto thee, that thine own right hand can save thee.

1 God giveth strength and power unto his people, and in all trials and difficulties his grace is sufficient for us.

2 He giveth power to the faithful, and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
