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?

when God takes away his life?(B)
Will God hear his cry
when distress comes on him?
10 Will he delight(C) in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?
11 I will teach you about God’s power.
I will not conceal what the Almighty has planned.[a]
12 All of you have seen this for yourselves,
why do you keep up this empty talk?(D)
