24 "Suppose I've put my trust in gold. I've said to pure gold, 'You make me feel secure.'
25 And I'm happy because I'm so wealthy. I'm glad because my hands have earned so much.
26 Suppose I've worshiped the sun in all of its glory. I've bowed down to the moon in all of its beauty.
27 My heart has been secretly tempted. My hand has thrown kisses to the sun and moon.
28 Then those things would have been sins that should be judged. And I wouldn't have been faithful to God in heaven.
29 "I wasn't happy when hard times came to my enemies. I didn't enjoy seeing the trouble they had.
30 I didn't allow my mouth to sin by calling down curses on them.
