4 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.
5 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
6 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.
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.
