2 I am desperate becauseGod All-Powerful refusesto do what is right.As surely as God lives,
3 and while he gives me breath,
4 I will tell only the truth.
5 Until the day I die,I will refuse to do wrongby saying you are right,
6 because each day my conscienceagrees that I am innocent.
7 I pray that my enemieswill suffer no lessthan the wicked.
8 Such people are hopeless,and God All-Powerfulwill cut them down,
