My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won’t forget your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven’t gone astray from your precepts.
I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, even to the end.
SAMEKH I hate double-minded men, but I love your law.
You are my hiding place and my shield.
I hope in your word.
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
