2Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
2Also--to-day <FI>is<Fi> my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
3Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat!
3O that I had known--and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
4I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;
4I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill <FI>with<Fi> arguments.
5I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
5I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
6Would he plead against me with [his] great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
6In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth <FI>it<Fi> in me.
7There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.
7There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
8Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;
8Lo, forward I go--and He is not, And backward--and I perceive him not.
9On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not.
9<FI> To<Fi> the left in His working--and I see not, He is covered <FI>on<Fi> the right, and I behold not.
10But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
10For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me--as gold I go forth.
11My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.
11On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,
12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.
12The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
13But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.
13And He <FI>is<Fi> in one <FI>mind<Fi> , And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired--and He doth <FI>it<Fi> .
14For he will perform [what] is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.
14For He doth complete my portion, And many such things <FI>are<Fi> with Him.
15Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.
15Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
