22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.

23 For ^adestruction from God is a terror to me,
And because of His magnificence I cannot endure. ‡

26 ^aIf I have observed the¹ 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;
