²⁴ 
“If I have put my trust and confidence in gold,
Or have declared fine gold my hope and assurance,
²⁵ 
If I gloated and rejoiced because my wealth was great,
And because my [powerful] hand [alone] had obtained so much,

²⁸ 
This also would have been [a heinous] sin calling for judgment,
For I would have denied God above.^(A)
