1-2 I swear by the living Almighty God,who refuses me justice and makes my life bitter —
3 as long as God gives me breath,
4 my lips will never say anything evil,my tongue will never tell a lie.
5 I will never say that you men are right;I will insist on my innocence to my dying day.
6 I will never give up my claim to be right;my conscience is clear.
7 May all who oppose me and fight against mebe punished like the wicked and the unrighteous.
