14. Nor can any king or prince confront you on behalf of those you have punished.
15. But as you are righteous, you govern all things righteously;you regard it as unworthy of your powerto punish one who has incurred no blame.
16. For your might is the source of righteousness;your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all.
17. For you show your might when the perfection of your power is disbelieved;and in those who know you, you rebuke insolence.
18. But though you are master of might, you judge with clemency,and with much lenience you govern us;for power, whenever you will, attends you.
