While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Though while he lives he congratulates himself—
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself—

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;

Let them fear You while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

Before they had satisfied their desire,
While their food was in their mouths,

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

My eyes fail with longing for Your word,
While I say, “When will You comfort me?”

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
While I pass by safely.

I will praise the Lord while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Do not devise harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.

While He had not yet made the earth and the fields,
Nor the first dust of the world.
