<p class="poetry">My guests<n id="1" /> and my servant girlsp> <p class="poetry">consider<n id="2" /> me a stranger;p> <p class="poetry">I am a foreigner<n id="3" /> in their eyes.p>

<p class="poetry">People<n id="1" /> who had seen him will not see him again,p> <p class="poetry">and the place where he wasp> <p class="poetry">will recognize him no longer.p>

<p class="poetry">When people are brought low<n id="1" /> and you sayp> <p class="poetry">&#8216;Lift them up!&#8217;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">then he will save the downcast;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">God<n id="1" /> may let them rest in a feeling of security,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">but he is constantly watching<n id="3" /> all their ways.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">When he opens his eyes, it is all gone.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">a hidden path<n id="1" /> no bird of prey knows &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">no falcon&#8217;s<n id="2" /> eye has spotted it.p>

<p class="poetry">He has cut out channels<n id="1" /> through the rocks;p> <p class="poetry">his eyes have spotted<n id="2" /> every precious thing.p>

<p class="poetry">For<n id="1" /> it has been hiddenp> <p class="poetry">from the eyes of every living creature,p> <p class="poetry">and from the birds of the sky it has been concealed.p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;As soon as the ear heard these things,<n id="1" /> it blessed me,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;I made a covenant with<n id="1" /> my eyes;p> <p class="poetry">how then could I entertain thoughts against a virgin?<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">If I have refused to give the poor what they desired,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,p>

<p class="poetry">For his eyes are on the ways of an individual,p> <p class="poetry">he observes all a person&#8217;s<n id="1" /> steps.p>

<p class="poetry">Its snorting throws out flashes of light;p> <p class="poetry">its eyes are like the red glow<n id="1" /> of dawn.p>

<p class="poetry">It stands still,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">but I cannot recognize<n id="2" /> its appearance;p> <p class="poetry">an image is before my eyes,p> <p class="poetry">and I hear a murmuring voice:<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Remember<n id="1" /> that my life is but a breath,p> <p class="poetry">that<n id="2" /> my eyes will never again<n id="3" /> see happiness.p>

<p class="poetry">But the eyes of the wicked fail,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and escape<n id="2" /> eludes them;p> <p class="poetry">their one hope<n id="3" /> is to breathe their last.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">Do you fix your eye<n id="1" /> on such a one?<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">And do you bring me<n id="3" /> before you for judgment?p>

<p class="poetry">His<n id="1" /> anger has torn me<n id="2" /> and persecuted<n id="3" /> me;p> <p class="poetry">he has gnashed at me with his teeth;p> <p class="poetry">my adversary locks<n id="4" /> his eyes on me.p>

<p class="poetry">whom I will see for myself,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and whom my own eyes will behold,p> <p class="poetry">and not another.<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">My heart<n id="3" /> grows faint within me.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">If even the moon is not bright,p> <p class="poetry">and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned,<n id="1" />p>
