^{Tools

Dominion and dread^(A) belong to Him,
the One who establishes harmony in the heavens.^(a)

^{Tools
3}

Can His troops be numbered?
Does His light not shine on everyone?

^{Tools
4}

How can a person be justified before God?^(B)
How can one born of woman be pure?^(C)

^{Tools
5}

If even the moon does not shine
and the stars are not pure in His sight,^(D)

^{Tools
6}

how much less man, who is a maggot,
and the son of man, who is a worm!^(E)
