⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.

³⁰ For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands, ³¹ you had thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me.

⁴ For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;

¹⁴ For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless? or, [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just?

⁴ For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

²⁰ Wisdom will help the wise man more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

¹ Righteous are you, O Lord, that I may make my defence to you, yes, I will speak to you [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of ungodly [men] prospers? [that] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?

⁹ The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?

¹⁵ Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him. ¹⁶ Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught.

²⁷ And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.

⁹ Remember that you have made me [as] clay, and you do turn me again to earth.

¹² And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body [like a body] of clay.

²⁸ [I am as] that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.

² Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and can’t continue.

¹⁶ who were seized before their time: their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream.

⁶ You are formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance].

¹¹ But you, Lord, remove not your compassion far from me; your mercy and your truth have helped me continually.

⁵ You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day; ⁶ [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day. ⁷ A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

¹⁵ and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart. ¹⁶ The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.

⁴ He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.

⁷ [before] the dust also return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.

⁶ And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.

²⁰ He was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed without honor, and was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

¹⁴ For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?

²⁰ You drive him to an end, and he is gone: you set your face against him, and send him away;

²² Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, even [as] the son of man with his neighbor!

¹⁷ Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out.

⁷ For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish: and they that knew him shall say, Where is he?

¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw near to help me.

⁵ You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day; ⁶ [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

⁷ The memory of the just is praised; but the name of the ungodly [man] is extinguished.

¹² [My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws near to cut off [the] thread. ¹³ In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.

²² But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.

²¹ These are the houses of the unrighteous, and this is the place of them that know not the Lord.

¹² But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.

⁵ O Lord my God, you have multiplied your wonderful works, and in your thoughts there is none who shall be likened to you: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.

¹⁴ Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay your vows to the Most High.
