The Lord God hath given [a]me a tongue of the learned, that I should know to minister a word in time to him that is [b]weary; he will raise me up in the morning, in the morning he will waken mine ear to hear, [c]as the learned.

The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned I back.

I gave my back unto the [d]smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

He is near that justifieth me: who will contend with me? Let us stand together? who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

Behold, the Lord God will help me: who is he that can condemn me? lo, they shall wax old as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.
