"For You have  1 akepth6845 their hearth3820 from understandingh7922, Thereforeh5921h3651 You will not exalth7311 them.

5

"He who  ainformsh5046 against friendsh7453 for a shareh2506 of the spoil, The  beyesh5869 of his childrenh1121 also will languishh3615.

6

"But He has madeh3322 me a  abywordh4914 of the peopleh5971a, And I amh1961  1one at whom men  bspith8611.

11

"My  adaysh3117 are pasth5674a, my plansh2154 are tornh5423 aparth5423, Even the wishesh4180 of my hearth3824.

12

"They makeh7760 nighth3915 into dayh3117, saying, `The lighth216 is nearh7138,' in the presenceh6440 of darknessh2822.

14

If I callh7121 to the  apith7845, `You are my fatherh1'; To the  bwormh7415, `my motherh517 and my sisterh269';
