No, but he would give attention to me. +There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge. +See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him; +I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him. +For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold. +My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other. +I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart. +But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul. +For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs. +For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me. +For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all. +For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face. |
