18. For I purposed to practice her, And I was zealous for that which is good; And I shall never be put to shame.
19. My soul has wrestled in her, And in my doing I was exact: I spread forth my hands to the heaven above, And bewailed my ignorances of her.
20. I set my soul aright to her, And in pureness I found her. I got me a heart joined with her from the beginning: Therefore shall I not be forsaken.
21. My inward part also was troubled to seek her: Therefore I have gotten a good possession.
