31:4 quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua conversus sum in aerumna mea dum configitur mihi spina diapsalma	31:4. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
31:5 delictum meum cognitum tibi feci et iniustitiam meam non abscondi dixi confitebor adversus me iniustitiam meam Domino et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei diapsalma	31:5.

31:8 intellectum tibi dabo et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris firmabo super te oculos meos	31:8. I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
31:9 nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus quibus non est intellectus in camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe qui non adproximant ad te	31:9. Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
