Shirikisha

Yet shall the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) hold to their ways, and he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger. [Ps. 24:4.]

Give me a pledge with Yourself [acknowledge my innocence before my death]; who is there that will give security for me?

MY SPIRIT is broken, my days are spent (snuffed out); the grave is ready for me.

My days are past, my purposes and plans are frustrated; even the thoughts (desires and possessions) of my heart [are broken off]. These [thoughts] extend from the night into the day, [so that] the light is short because of darkness.
