[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
