  he rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope,
Restoring dignity and respect to their lives—

  but leaves the wicked to stumble in the dark.
  No one makes it in this life by sheer muscle!

  crashed in a heap and burned.
God will set things right all over the earth,
  he’ll give strength to his king,
  he’ll set his anointed on top of the world!
