Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.
And yet, ye `are' forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought -- all of you,
Many `are' my pursuers, and adversaries, From Thy testimonies I have not turned aside.
O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe it with the whole heart.
The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.
I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.
Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
`None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world -- a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes --
a two-souled man `is' unstable in all his ways.
