3 Bear with me that I may speak,
And after I have spoken, keep ^amocking. ‡

4 “As for me, is my complaint against man?
And if it were, why should I not be impatient?

6 Even when I remember I am terrified,
And trembling takes hold of my flesh.

7 ^aWhy do the wicked live and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power? ‡
