    and the Almighty, who has (B)made my soul bitter,

    and my tongue will not utter (E)deceit.
Far be it from me to say that you are right;
    till I die I will not put away my (F)integrity from me.
I (G)hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
    my heart does not (H)reproach me for any of my days.

    when God takes away his life?
