Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.
I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.
Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.
For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?
Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?
Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?
I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.
