If one wanted to take him to court,

he could not answer God[fn] once in a thousand times.

and argue my case before God.

and withdrew the spirit and breath he gave,

and the Almighty does not take note of it —

he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.

“I delight to do your will, my God,

and your instruction is deep within me.”

Let those who seek to kill me

be disgraced and confounded;

let those who wish me harm

be turned back and humiliated.

My son, if sinners entice you,

don’t be persuaded.
