2 "Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond, Even because of my inward agitation.
3 "I listened to the reproof which insults me, And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.
4 "Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?
