¹³ For neither is there any god besides you whose care is for all people,^[a]
to whom you should prove that you have not judged unjustly,^(A)

¹⁶ For your strength is the source of righteousness,
and your sovereignty over all causes you to spare all.^(A)
17 For you show your strength when people doubt the completeness of your power,
and you rebuke any insolence among those who know it.^[a](B)
18 Although you are sovereign in strength, you judge fairly,
and with great forbearance you govern us,
for you have power to act whenever you choose.^(C)

¹⁹ Through such works you have taught your people
that the righteous must be kind,
and you have filled your children with good hope,
because you give repentance for sins.^(D)
