"They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul. "
— Psalms 34:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?”
“What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good? ”
“Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?”
“Do you want to really live? Would you love to live a long, happy life?”
“They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.”
“What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?”
“What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?”
But my soul will exult in the Lord and delight over his salvation.
All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you?” He rescues the needy from the hand of the stronger one, the indigent and the poor from those who plunder him.
Unfair witnesses have risen up, interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.
They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul.
But as for me, when they were harassing me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will become my sinews.
Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
