16. You know, O Lord, that I have never coveted a husband, and I have preserved my soul clean from all impure desire.
17. I have never mingled myself with those who play. And I have not presented myself as a participant with those who walk with levity.
18. But I consented to accept a husband, in your fear, not in my lust.
19. And, either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy of me. For perhaps you have preserved me for another husband.
