Who among you desires life, and wants long life in order to see good?

All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like you? Who delivers the weak from the one who is stronger than he, and the weak and the needy from the one who wants to rob him?"

Look, I want to flee far away; I want to settle down in the wilderness. Interlude

I want to deliver myself quickly from this windstorm and tempest."

Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head. My persecutors are mighty, and they want to destroy me. Must I be forced to return what I did not steal?

God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you.
