⁷ By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

¹⁰ In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

¹¹ In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

¹² On me, O God, `are' Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

¹³ For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
