8. “Oh that I might have my request,and that God would fulfill my hope,
9. that it would please God to crush me,that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10. This would be my comfort;I would even exult in pain unsparing,for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11. What is my strength, that I should wait?And what is my end, that I should be patient?
