11
So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum ne possint implere manus eorum quod coeperant

13 qui adprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum et consilium pravorum dissipat
13
"He captures the wise by their own shrewdness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.
