⁶ Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.

⁴ For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.

¹³ His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

⁴ Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

⁵ Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

⁶ I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.
