5. I would know with what words he would answer me,and understand what he would say to me.
6. Would he contend with me with great power?No, he would only pay attention to me.
7. There an upright person could present his case before him,and I would be delivered forever from my judge.
8. “If I go to the east, he is not there,and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.
9. In the north when he is at work,I do not see him;when he turns to the south, I see no trace of him.
10. But he knows the pathway that I take;if he tested me, I would come forth like gold.
11. My feet have followed his steps closely;I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.
12. I have not departed from the commands of his lips;I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.
13. But he is unchangeable, and who can change him?Whatever he has desired, he does.
