3

For as longh3605h5750 as  1lifeh5397 is in me, And the  2 abreathh5397 of Godh433 is in my nostrilsh639,

4

My lipsh8193 certainlyh518 will not speakh1696 unjustlyh5767b, Norh518 will  amy tongueh3956 mutterh1897 deceith7423a.

5

"Farh2486 be it from me that I should declareh6663 you righth6663; Tillh5704 I dieh1478  aI will not puth5493 awayh5493 my integrityh8538 from me.

6

"I  aholdh2388 fasth2388 my righteousnessh6666 and will not leth7503 it goh7503. My hearth3824 does not reproachh2778a anyh4480 of my daysh3117.

The State of the Godless

7

"May my enemyh340 be as the wickedh7563 And  1my opponenth6965 as the unjusth5767a.

8

"For whath4100 is  athe hopeh8615b of the godlessh2611  1whenh3588 he is cuth1214 offh1214, Whenh3588 Godh433 requiresh7953  bhis  2lifeh5315?

9

"Will Godh410  ahearh8085 his cryh6818 Whenh3588  bdistressh6869a comesh935 upon him?

10

"Will he takeh6026  adelighth6026 in the Almightyh7706b? Will he callh7121 on Godh433 at allh3605 timesh6256?

11

"I will instructh3384 you in the  1powerh3027 of Godh410; Whath834 is with the Almightyh7706b I will not concealh3582.

12

"Beholdh2005, allh3605 of you have seenh2372 it; Whyh4100 thenh2088 do you  1acth1891 foolishlyh1891?

13

"Thish2088 is  athe portionh2506 of a wickedh7563 manh120 from Godh410, And the inheritanceh5159 which  btyrantsh6184 receiveh3947 from the Almightyh7706b.

14

"Thoughh518 his sonsh1121 are manyh7235a,  1they are destined  afor the swordh2719; And his  bdescendantsh6631 will not be satisfiedh7646 with breadh3899.

15

"His survivorsh8300 will be buriedh6912 because of the plagueh4194, And  1their  awidowsh490 will not be able to weeph1058.

16

"Thoughh518 he pilesh6651 up silverh3701 like dusth6083 And preparesh3559 garmentsh4403 as plentiful as the clayh2563a,

17

He may prepareh3559 it,  abut the justh6662 will wearh3847 it And the innocenth5355a will divideh2505a the silverh3701.

18

"He has builth1129 his  ahouseh1004 like the  1spider's web, Or as a huth5521 which the watchmanh5341 has madeh6213a.

19

"He liesh7901 downh7901 richh6223, but neverh3808  1againh622; He opensh6491b his eyesh5869, and  ait is noh369 longerh369.

20

aTerrorsh1091 overtakeh5381 him like a floodh4325; A tempesth5492a stealsh1589 him awayh1589  bin the nighth3915.

21

"The easth6921  awindh6921 carriesh5375 him away, and he is goneh1980, For it whirlsh8175a him  bawayh8175a from his placeh4725.

22

"For it will hurlh7993 at him  awithouth3808 sparingh2550; He will surelyh1272 try to  bfleeh1272 from its  1powerh3027.

23

"Men will claph5606 their handsh3709 at him And will  ahissh8319 him from his placeh4725.
