¹³ “^(A)If you would ^(B)set your heart right
And ^(C)spread out your hand to Him,
¹⁴ If wickedness is in your hand, ^(D)put it far away,
And do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents;
¹⁵ Then, indeed, you could ^(E)lift up your face without moral defect,
And you would be steadfast and ^(F)not fear.
¹⁶ For you would ^(G)forget your trouble,
As ^(H)waters that pass by, so you would remember it.
¹⁷ And your lifetime would ^(I)arise brighter than noonday;
Darkness would be like the morning.
¹⁸ Then you would trust, because there is hope;
And you would search around and rest securely.
¹⁹ You would ^(J)lie down and none would make you tremble,
And many would ^(K)entreat your ^[a]favor.
²⁰ But the ^(L)eyes of the wicked will come to an end,
And escape will ^(M)perish from them;
And their ^(N)hope is ^(O)the expiring of their soul.”
