"In your virtue, you confirmed the sea. You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters. "
— Psalms 73:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.”
“Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency; ”
“Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,”
“I concluded,“Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure and maintained a pure lifestyle.”
“Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.”
“As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;”
“Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.”
How long, O God, will the enemy place blame? Is the adversary to provoke your name until the end?
Why do you turn your hand away, even your right hand, from the midst of your sinews, until the end?
But God is our king before all ages. He has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
In your virtue, you confirmed the sea. You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters.
You have broken the heads of the serpent. You have given him as food for the people of the Ethiopians.
You have disrupted the fountains and the torrents. You have dried up the rivers of Ethan.
Yours is the day, and yours is the night. You have made the morning light and the sun.
