12 Behold, these the ungodly are, Who live in health and [fleshly] ease, Who prosper in the present world, In [wealth and] riches do increase.
13 Then surely I have cleansed my heart, And washed my hands [from sin] in vain:
13 Then surely I have cleans'd my heart, And wash'd my hands [from sin] in vain:
14 For all day long have I been plagued, And thy sharp rod [each day] sustain.
14 For all day long have I been plagu'd, And thy sharp rod [each day] sustain.
15 But if these tempted sinful thoughts I [own and] utter with my tongue▪ Thy Children's generation all I should offend and [greatly] wrong.
