1: And furtherH3254 JobH0347 continuedH5375 his discourse,H4912 and said,H0559

2: whoH4310 will put meH5414 as [in] monthsH3391 past,H6924 as [in] the days [when]H3117 GodH0433 watched over me.H8104

3: When shoneH1984 His lampH5216 uponH5921 my head,H7218 [And when] by His lightH0216 I walkedH1980 [through] darkness-H2822

4: just asH0834 I wasH1961 in the daysH3117 of my prime,H2779 when the friendly counselH5475 of God [was]H0433 overH5921 my tent-H0168

5: when yetH5750 the Almighty [was]H7706 with meH5978 around meH5439 [when] my children [were].H5288

6: When were bathedH7364 my stepsH1978 with cream,H2529 and the rockH6697 poured outH6694 for meH5978 riversH6388 of oil-H8081

7: when I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 byH5921 the city,H7176 in the open square!H7339 [when] I tookH3559 my seat.H4186

8: Saw meH7200 the young menH5288 and hid-H2244 and the agedH3453 arose,H6965 [and] stood.H5975

9: The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 from talking,H4405 and [their] handH3709 putH7760 on their mouth.H6310

10: The voice,H6963 of noblesH5057 was hushedH2244 and their tongueH3956 to the roof of their mouthH2441 stuck.H1692

11: WhenH3588 the earH0241 heardH8085 then it blessed meH0833 and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 then it approved me.H5749

12: BecauseH3588 I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 who cried out,H7768 and the fatherless,H3490 and noH3808 [the one who] had helperH5826

13: The blessingH1293 of a perishing [man]H0006 upon meH5921 cameH0935 and the heartH3820 widow'sH0490 I caused to sing for joy.H7442

14: Righteousness,H6664 I put onH3847 and it clothed meH3847 like a robeH4598 and a turbanH6797 My justice [was].H4941

15: EyesH5869 I [was]H1961 to the blind,H5787 and feetH7272 to the lameH6455 I [was].H0589

16: A fatherH0001 I [was]H0595 to the poor,H0034 and the caseH7379 notH3808 [that] I did knowH3045 I searched out.H2713

17: And I brokeH7665 the fangsH4973 of the wicked,H5767 and from his teethH8127 pluckedH7993 the victim.H2964

18: And I said,H0559 inH5973 my nest,H7064 I shall dieH1478 and as the sandH2344 multiplyH7235 [my] days.H3117

19: My rootH8328 [is] spread outH6605 toH0413 the waters,H4325 and the dewH2919 lies all nightH3885 on my branch.H7105

20: My glory [is]H3519 newH2319 within meH5978 and my bowH7198 in my handH3027 is renewed.H2498 [Men] listened,H8085 and waited,H3176 and kept silenceH1826 forH3926 my counsel.H6098

22: AfterH0310 my wordsH1697 notH3808 they did speak againH8138 and on themH5921 settled [as dew]H5197 my speech.H4405

23: And they waitedH3176 [as] for the rain-H4306 and their mouthH6310 they opened wideH6473 [as] for the spring rain.H4456

24: [If] I mockedH7832 at themH0413 not-H3808 they did believe [it]H0539 and the lightH0216 of my countenanceH6440 notH3808 they did cast down.H5307

25: I choseH0977 the way for them,H1870 and satH3427 as chief,H7218 so I dweltH7931 as a kingH4428 in the army,H1416 asH0834 [ones] mourningH0057 one [who] comforts.H5162
