If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat .
I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill ` with ' arguments.
I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
I know the words He doth answer me , And understand what He saith to me .

When He is at work in the north , I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him .

My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside .

But He is unchangeable , and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires .
For He doth complete my portion , And many such things `are' with Him .
For He carries out His decree against me , and He has many such plans .

Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this , I fear Him.
And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.
Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face .
