So the Lord said to Satan, “All right, ¹  he is ²  in your power; ³  only preserve ⁴  his life.”

My offenses would be sealed up ¹  in a bag; ²  you would cover over ³  my sin.

“O that I could be ¹  as ²  I was in the months now gone, ³  in the days ⁴  when God watched ⁵  over me,

He spares a person’s life from corruption, ¹  his very life from crossing over ²  the river.

He asked you to sustain his life, ¹  and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty. ² 

As for me, you uphold ¹  me because of my integrity; ²  you allow ³  me permanent access to your presence. ⁴ 

I will always extend my loyal love to him, and my covenant with him is secure. ¹ 

I will give him an eternal dynasty, ¹  and make his throne as enduring as the skies above. ²

Turn my eyes away from what is worthless! ¹  Revive me with your word! ² 

This ¹  is what comforts me in my trouble, for your promise revives me. ² 

Revive me with ¹  your loyal love, that I might keep ²  the rules you have revealed. ³ 

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have revived me.

Fight for me ¹  and defend me! ²  Revive me with your word!

Your compassion is great, O Lord. Revive me, as you typically do! ¹ 

My child, do not let them ¹  escape from your sight; safeguard sound wisdom and discretion. ² 

With his speech ¹  the godless person ²  destroys ³  his neighbor, but by knowledge ⁴  the righteous will be delivered.

The one who forgives ¹  an offense seeks ²  love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close friends. ³
