9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
10I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
11As the partridge that sits on [eggs] which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
12A glorious throne, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
14Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
15Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come now.
