| 2Dominion and dread belong to Him, the One who establishes harmony in the heavens. | 2"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven. |
| 3Can His troops be numbered? Does His light not shine on everyone? | 3Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise? |
| 4How can a person be justified before God? How can one born of woman be pure? | 4How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? |
| 5If even the moon does not shine and the stars are not pure in His sight, | 5If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes, |
| 6how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm! | 6how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot-- a human being, who is only a worm!" |
