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