12:13 For neither is there any god besides you, whose care is for all people,
to whom you should not prove that you have not judged unjustly;
12:16 For your strength is the source of righteousness,
and your sovereignity over all causes you to spare all.
17 For you show your strength when people doubt the completeness of
your power
and you rebuke any insolence among those who know it.
18 Although you are sovereign in strngth, you judge with mildness,
and with great forbearance govern us;
for you have power to act whenever you choose.
19 Through such works you have taught your people that the righteous
must be kind,
and you have filled your children with good hope,
because you give repentance for sins.
