24 Without inquiry he shatters the mighty

and sets up others in their place.

25 Because he takes note of their deeds,

he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

26 He punishes them for their wickedness

where everyone can see them,

27 because they turned from following him

and had no regard for any of his ways.

24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number,

And set others in their stead.

25 Therefore he knoweth their works,

And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

26 He striketh them as wicked men

In the open sight of others;

27 Because they turned back from him,

And would not consider any of his ways:

24 He brings the mighty to ruin without asking anyone,

and he sets up others in their place.

25 He knows what they do,

and in the night he overturns and destroys them.

26 He strikes them down because they are wicked,

doing it openly for all to see.

27 For they turned away from following him.

They have no respect for any of his ways.

24 He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,

And sets others in their place.

25 Therefore He knows their works;

He overthrows them in the night,

And they are crushed.

26 He strikes them as wicked men

In the open sight of others,

27 Because they turned back from Him,

And would not consider any of His ways,

24 Without asking questions, God breaks powerful people into pieces

and puts others in their place.

25 Because God knows what people do,

he defeats them in the night, and they are crushed.

26 He punishes them for the evil they do

so that everyone else can watch,

27 because they stopped following God

and did not care about any of his ways.

24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out,

And setteth others in their stead.

25 Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works;

And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

26 He striketh them as wicked men

In the open sight of others;

27 Because they turned aside from following him,

And would not have regard in any of his ways:

24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and setteth others in their stead; 25 Since he knoweth their actions; and he overthroweth them in the night, and they are crushed. 26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others, 27 Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;

24 He breaks mighty people into pieces without examining them 

and puts others in their places. 

25 He knows what they do, 

so he overthrows them at night, and they’re crushed. 

26 In return for their evil, he strikes them in public, 

27 because they turned away from following him 

and didn’t consider any of his ways. 

24 He shatters the mighty without an investigation

and sets others in their place.

25 Therefore, He recognizes their deeds

and overthrows them by night, and they are crushed.

26 In full view of the public,

He strikes them for their wickedness,

27 because they turned aside from following Him

and did not understand any of His ways

24 He shatters the mighty without investigation

and sets others in their place.

25 Thus, knowing their works,

he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.

26 He strikes them for their wickedness

while others look on,

27 because they turned aside from following him

and had no regard for any of his ways,

24 He shatters the mighty without investigation,

and he sets others in their place.

25 Therefore he knows their works,

and he overturns them in the night

so that they are crushed.

26 He strikes them where the wicked stood,

where there are onlookers,

27 because they have turned aside from him

and have not understood any of his ways,

24 He destroys the mighty without asking them questions in court.

Then he sets others up in their places.

25 He knows what they do.

So he crushes them during the night.

26 He punishes them for the sins they commit.

He does it where everyone can see them.

27 That’s because they turned away from following him.

They didn’t have respect for anything he does.

24 “He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,

And sets others in their place.

25 “Therefore He knows their works,

And He overthrows them in the night,

And they are crushed.

26 “He strikes them like the wicked

In a public place,

27 Because they turned aside from following Him,

And had no regard for any of His ways;
