1-2. I still rebel and complain against God;I can't hold back my groaning.
3. How I wish I knew where to find him,and knew how to go where he is.
4. I would state my case before himand present all the arguments in my favour.
5. I want to know what he would sayand how he would answer me.
6. Would God use all his strength against me?No, he would listen as I spoke.
7. I am honest; I could reason with God;he would declare me innocent once and for all.
8. I have searched in the east, but God is not there;I have not found him when I searched in the west.
9. God has been at work in the north and the south,but still I have not seen him.
10. Yet God knows every step I take;if he tests me, he will find me pure.
11. I follow faithfully the road he chooses,and never wander to either side.
