2 But, as for me, —My feet had, almost stumbled, My steps had, well-nigh slipped;
and I like/as little (to stretch *Q(K)*) foot my like/as nothing (to pour: scatter *Q(K)*) step my
3 For I was envious of the boasters, At the prosperity of the lawless, used I to look.

for nothing bond to/for death their and fat strength their
5 Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten.
in/on/with trouble human nothing they and with man not to touch
6 For this cause, doth arrogance deck them as a neck-chain, And a garment of wrong is their attire;
to/for so to ornament them pride to envelope garment violence to/for them
7 Their iniquity, hath proceeded from fatness, They have surpassed the imaginations of the heart;
to come out: come from fat eye their to pass figure heart

to appoint in/on/with heaven lip their and tongue their to go: walk in/on/with land: country/planet
10 Therefore must his people return thither, And, the waters of abundance, are drained by them;
to/for so (to return: return *Q(K)*) people his here and water full to drain to/for them
11 And they say—How doth GOD know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
and to say how? to know God and there knowledge in/on/with Most High
12 Lo! these, are the lawless, Who are secure for an age, They have attained unto wealth.
behold these wicked and at ease forever: enduring to increase strength: rich
13 Altogether in vain, Have I cleansed my heart, And bathed in pureness, my hands;
surely vain to clean heart my and to wash: wash in/on/with innocence palm my
14 And yet been smitten all the day, And been rebuked morning by morning!
and to be to touch all [the] day and argument my to/for morning
15 If I had thought, I will relate it thus, Lo! the circle of thy sons, had I betrayed.

17 Until I could enter the holy places of God, —Could give heed to their hereafter: —
till to come (in): come to(wards) sanctuary God to understand to/for end their
18 Surely, in slippery places, dost thou set them, —Thou hast suffered them to fall into places of danger.
surely in/on/with smoothness to set: make to/for them to fall: fall them to/for desolation
19 How have they become desolate, as in a moment! They have ceased—come to an end, by reason of calamities.
how? to be to/for horror: destroyed like/as moment to cease to finish from terror
20 As the dream of him that waketh, O my Lord! when rousing thyself up, their shadowy being, wilt thou despise.
like/as dream from to awake Lord in/on/with to rouse image their to despise
21 But my heart had grown embittered, And, in my reins, had I received wounds;
for to leaven heart my and kidney my to sharpen
22 But, I, was brutish, and could not perceive, Like the beasts, had I become before thee.
and I stupid and not to know animal to be with you
23 Nevertheless, I, am continually before thee, Thou hast taken hold of my right hand;
and I continually with you to grasp in/on/with hand right my
24 By thy counsel, wilt thou guide me, And, afterwards, unto glory, wilt thou take me.
in/on/with counsel your to lead me and after glory to take: recieve me
25 Whom have I in the heavens? And, compared with thee, there is nothing I desire on earth.
who? to/for me in/on/with heaven and with you not to delight in in/on/with land: country/planet
26 Failed have my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart—and my portion, is God unto times age-abiding.
