12
You created those wicked people, and no one can speak in their defense or condemn you for destroying them. No one can question what you have done or challenge your judgment.
13
All things are under your care, and there is no other god to whom you must justify your decisions.
14
No king or ruler on earth can accuse you of punishing those people unfairly.
15
You are righteous, and you rule everything righteously. You have never used your power to condemn a person who does not deserve to be punished.
16
Your strength is the source of justice. You can show mercy to everyone, because you are the Lord of all.
