| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“My complaint today is still a bitter one, and I try hard not to groan aloud. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3If only I knew where to find God, I would go to his court. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I would lay out my case and present my arguments. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then I would listen to his reply and understand what he says to me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Would he use his great power to argue with me? No, he would give me a fair hearing. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Honest people can reason with him, so I would be forever acquitted by my judge. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I go east, but he is not there. I go west, but I cannot find him. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden. I look to the south, but he is concealed. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10“But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than daily food. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind? Whatever he wants to do, he does. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14So he will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15No wonder I am so terrified in his presence. When I think of it, terror grips me. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16God has made me sick at heart; the Almighty has terrified me. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Darkness is all around me; thick, impenetrable darkness is everywhere. |
