2. What portion comes from God above,what heritage from the Almighty on high?
3. Is it not calamity for the unrighteous,and woe for evildoers?
4. Does he not see my ways,and number all my steps?
5. If I have walked in falsehoodand my foot has hastened to deceit,
6. Let God weigh me in the scales of justice;thus will he know my innocence!
7. If my steps have turned out of the way,and my heart has followed my eyes,or any stain clings to my hands,
8. Then may I sow, but another eat,and may my produce be rooted up!
