O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

If I have paid back with evil him who was at peace with me or without cause have robbed him who was my enemy,

But who declares [a man’s] way [and rebukes] him to his face? And who pays him back for what he has done?

When he is borne to the grave, watch is kept over his tomb.

The clods of the valley are sweet to him, and every man shall follow him to a grave, as innumerable people [have gone] before him.
