The State of the Godless

“May my enemy be as the wicked,
And [a]my opponent as the criminal.
For what is (A)the hope of the godless when he makes an end of life,
When God requires (B)his [b]life?
Will God (C)hear his cry
When (D)distress comes upon him?
10 Or will he take (E)pleasure in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?
11 I will instruct you in the [c]power of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Behold, all of you have seen it;
Why then do you talk of nothing?
