26 (A)Raise your eyes on high
And see (B)who has created these stars,
The (C)One who brings out their [a]multitude by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the (D)greatness of His might and the [b]strength of His power,
(E)Not one of them is missing.

27 (F)Why do you say, Jacob, and you assert, Israel,
“My way is (G)hidden from the Lord,
And the (H)justice due me [c]escapes the notice of (I)my God”?
28 (J)Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The (K)Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is (L)unsearchable.
29 He gives strength to the (M)weary,
And to the one who lacks might He (N)increases power.
30 Though (O)youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous (P)young men stumble badly,
31 Yet those who [d]wait for the Lord
Will (Q)gain new strength;
They will [e](R)mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
