4 Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

4 my lips will not say anything wicked, and my tongue will not utter lies.

5 Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

5 I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.

6 I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.

6 I will maintain my innocence and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.

14 If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring have not enough bread.
