\q1
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1

|
|
|
|
|
\q2 my life is getting shorter.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 I have become weak because of all my troubles;

\q1
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
\q2 but he punishes the proud; he punishes them severely as they deserve.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 24 You who confidently expect Yahweh to do great things for you,

|
|
