I cried unto the Lord God in my tribulation till the end, unto the God who provides for sinners.
2Immediately I heard the cry of war before me, I said: 'he will hear me, I will fulfill righteousness.'
3I pondered in my heart: 'I will fulfill righteousness in my prosperity, and when I have many children.'
4Their riches shall be distributed throughout all the earth, and their glory unto the ends of the earth.
5They shall exult until they say of the stars: 'surely they will not fall.'
6They also became insolent because of their goods.
7Their sins are secret; and I, did he not see?
8Their iniquities are upon themselves; peoples greatly profaned the sanctuary.
