18 O terre, ne couvre point mon sang, Et que mes cris prennent librement leur essor!

19 Déjà maintenant, mon témoin est dans le ciel, Mon témoin est dans les lieux élevés.

20 Mes amis se jouent de moi; C’est Dieu que j’implore avec larmes.

21 Puisse-t-il donner à l’homme raison contre Dieu, Et au fils de l’homme contre ses amis!

22 Car le nombre de mes années touche à son terme, Et je m’en irai par un sentier d’où je ne reviendrai pas.
