¹³ For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.

¹⁴ I confess Thee, because that `with' wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful `are' Thy works, And my soul is knowing `it' well.

¹⁵ My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.

¹⁶ Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them.

¹⁷ And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

¹⁸ I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;

⁹ For thou `art' He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.

¹⁰ On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou `art' my God.

¹¹ Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

¹² To number our days aright let `us' know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

⁴ One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

⁶ By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee `is' my praise continually.

³ For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only one before my mother.

⁴ And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.

⁴⁰ and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

²⁴ This `is' the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.
