1,2 God is powerful; all must stand in awe of him;

he keeps his heavenly kingdom in peace.

3 Can anyone count the angels who serve him?

Is there any place where God's light does not shine?

4 Can anyone be righteous or pure in God's sight?

5 In his eyes even the moon is not bright,

or the stars pure.

6 Then what about a human being, that worm, that insect?

What is a human life worth in God's eyes?
