5“Behold, God is mighty, and sdoes not despise any;
he is tmighty in strength of understanding.
6He does not keep the wicked alive,
but gives uthe afflicted their right.
7He does not withdraw his veyes from the righteous,
but with wkings on the throne
he sets them forever, and they are xexalted.
8And if they are ybound in chains
and caught in the cords of affliction,
9then he declares to them their work
and their transgressions, that they are zbehaving arrogantly.
10He aopens their ears to instruction
and commands that they breturn from iniquity.
11cIf they listen and serve him,
they dcomplete their days in prosperity,
and their years in pleasantness.
12But if they do not listen, they eperish by the sword
and die fwithout knowledge.
13“The ggodless in heart cherish anger;
they do not cry for help when he hbinds them.
14They idie in youth,
and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.
15He delivers jthe afflicted by their affliction
and kopens their ear by adversity.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“God is mighty, but despises no one;
he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.
He does not keep the wicked alive
but gives the afflicted their rights.
He does not take his eyes off the righteous;
he enthrones them with kings
and exalts them forever.
But if people are bound in chains,
held fast by cords of affliction,
he tells them what they have done—
that they have sinned arrogantly.
He makes them listen to correction
and commands them to repent of their evil.
If they obey and serve him,
they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity
and their years in contentment.
But if they do not listen,
they will perish by the sword
and die without knowledge.
“The godless in heart harbor resentment;
even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.
They die in their youth,
among male prostitutes of the shrines.
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering;
he speaks to them in their affliction.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Yes, God is mighty, but he despises no one;
he understands all things.
He does not keep the wicked alive,
but he gives justice to the oppressed.
He does not withdraw his gaze from the righteous,
but he seats them forever with enthroned kings,
and they are exalted.
If people are bound with chains
and trapped by the cords of affliction,
God tells them what they have done
and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
He opens their ears to correction
and tells them to repent from iniquity.
If they listen and serve him,
they will end their days in prosperity
and their years in happiness.
But if they do not listen,
they will cross the river of death
and die without knowledge.
Those who have a godless heart harbor anger;
even when God binds them, they do not cry for help.
They die in their youth;
their life ends among male cult prostitutes.
God rescues the afflicted by their affliction;
he instructs them by their torment.

NLTNew Living Translation
“God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone!
He is mighty in both power and understanding.
He does not let the wicked live
but gives justice to the afflicted.
He never takes his eyes off the innocent,
but he sets them on thrones with kings
and exalts them forever.
If they are bound in chains
and caught up in a web of trouble,
he shows them the reason.
He shows them their sins of pride.
He gets their attention
and commands that they turn from evil.
“If they listen and obey God,
they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.
All their years will be pleasant.
But if they refuse to listen to him,
they will cross over the river of death,
dying from lack of understanding.
For the godless are full of resentment.
Even when he punishes them,
they refuse to cry out to him for help.
They die when they are young,
after wasting their lives in immoral living.
But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer.
For he gets their attention through adversity.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Look, God is mighty but does not despise anyone;
he is mighty and good in understanding.
He does not keep the wicked alive
but grants justice to the afflicted.
He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
but he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.
“And if they are tied up with fetters,
if they are caught in the cords of misery,
then he declares their work to them,
and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
So he opens their ear to the discipline,
and he commands that they return from mischief.
If they listen and serve him,
they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.
But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword,
and they pass away without knowledge.
And the godless of heart cherish anger;
they do not cry for help when he binds them.
They die in their youth,
and their life ends among the male shrine prostitutes.
He delivers the afflicted by his misery,
and he opens their ears by the adversity.

KJV 1900King James Version
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:
He is mighty in strength and wisdom.
He preserveth not the life of the wicked:
But giveth right to the poor.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:
But with kings are they on the throne;
Yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
And if they be bound in fetters,
And be holden in cords of affliction;
Then he sheweth them their work,
And their transgressions that they have exceeded.
He openeth also their ear to discipline,
And commandeth that they return from iniquity.
If they obey and serve him,
They shall spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in pleasures.
But if they obey not,
They shall perish by the sword,
And they shall die without knowledge.
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath:
They cry not when he bindeth them.
They die in youth,
And their life is among the unclean.
He delivereth the poor in his affliction,
And openeth their ears in oppression.
