The One who made the Pleiades and Orion,(A)
who turns darkness[a] into dawn(B)
and darkens day into night,(C)
who summons the waters of the sea(D)
and pours them out over the face of the earth(E)
Yahweh is His name.(F)
He brings destruction[b] on the strong,[c](G)
and it falls on the stronghold.(H)

10 They hate the one who convicts the guilty(I)
at the city gate
and despise(J) the one who speaks with integrity.
