2. ² "Even today my complaint is rebellion; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3. ³ "Oh that I knew where I might find Him That I might come to His seat!
4. ⁴ "I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.
5. ⁵ "I would learn the words which He would answer And perceive what He would say to me.
6. ⁶ "Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No surely He would pay attention to me.
7. ⁷ "There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8. ⁸ "Behold I go forward but He is not there And backward but I cannot perceive Him;
9. ⁹ When He acts on the left I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right I cannot see Him.
10. ¹⁰ "But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me I shall come forth as gold.
11. ¹¹ "My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12. ¹² "I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
13. ¹³ "But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires that He does.
14. ¹⁴ "For He performs what is appointed for me And many such decrees are with Him.
15. ¹⁵ "Therefore I would be dismayed at His presence; When I consider I am terrified of Him.
16. ¹⁶ "It is God who has made my heart faint And the Almighty who has dismayed me
17. ¹⁷ But I am not silenced by the darkness Nor deep gloom which covers me.
