² "Even today my complaint is still bitter;
his hand is heavy despite my groaning.
³ O that I knew where I might find him,
that I could come to his place of residence!
⁴ I would lay out my case before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.
⁵ I would know with what words he would answer me,
and understand what he would say to me.
⁶ Would he contend with me with great power?
No, he would only pay attention to me.
⁷ There an upright person
could present his case before him,
and I would be delivered forever from my judge.

⁸ "If I go to the east, he is not there,
and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.
⁹ In the north when he is at work,
I do not see him;
when he turns to the south,
I see no trace of him.
¹⁰ But he knows the pathway that I take;
if he tested me, I would come forth like gold.
¹¹ My feet have followed his steps closely;
I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.
¹² I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.
¹³ But he is unchangeable, and who can change him?
Whatever he has desired, he does.
¹⁴ For he fulfills his decree against me,
and many such things are his plans.
¹⁵ That is why I am terrified in his presence;
when I consider, I am afraid because of him.
¹⁶ Indeed, God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me.
¹⁷ Yet I have not been silent because of the darkness,
because of the thick darkness
that covered my face.
