2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
3 (for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4 surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
