24 “If
a I have made gold my hope,
Or said to fine gold, ‘
You are my confidence’;
25 aIf I have rejoiced because my wealth
was great,
And because my hand had gained much;
26 aIf I have observed the
1 sun when it shines,
Or the moon moving
in brightness,
27 So that my heart has been secretly enticed,
And my mouth has kissed my hand;
28 This also
would be an iniquity
deserving of judgment,
For I would have denied God
who is above.
29 “If
a I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,
Or lifted myself up when evil found him
