5 "I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.
6 "Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.
7 "There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 "Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
9 When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
10 "But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 "My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
