2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,
3 as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.
5 Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.
6 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.
7 Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.
8 For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?
