So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.

I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me.

My heart was burning in my breast; while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted; then I said with my tongue,

My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?

I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,

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

Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.

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