7
There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
8
Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I perceive him not.
9
[To] the left in His working -- and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.
10
For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.
11
On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,
12
The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
13
And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it].
14
For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him
15
Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
16
And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
17
For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.
