3All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; 4My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. Far be it from me that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me. 6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. 7Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
