2 "As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,
3 For as long as life is in me, And the breath of God is in my nostrils,
4 My lips certainly will not speak unjustly, Nor will my tongue mutter deceit.
5 "Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 "I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. My heart does not reproach any of my days.
7 "May my enemy be as the wicked And my opponent as the unjust.
8 "For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, When God requires his life?
