I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers.

But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.

Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?

I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
