20
He that adoreth God with joy, shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds.
21
The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High behold.
22
And the Lord will not be slack, but will judge for the just, and will do judgment: and the Almighty will not have patience with them, that he may crush their back:
23
And he will repay vengeance to the Gentiles, till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptres of the unjust,
24
Till he have rendered to men according to their deeds: and according to the works of Adam, and according to his presumption,
25
Till he have judged the cause of his people, and he shall delight the just with his mercy.
26
The mercy of God is beautiful in the time of affliction, as a cloud of rain in the time of drought.
