¹⁴     Why should I lay my body at the mercy of the words of my own mouth
        or risk my life with only my own hands to defend me?
¹⁵     Look, He may well kill me,
        but I will hope in Him.
        Still I will be ready to argue my case before His very face.
¹⁶     In fact, this will become my salvation,
        for the godless wouldn’t even dare to approach Him.
