23:3. Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
23:4. I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
23:5. That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
23:6. I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
23:7. Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
23:8. But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
23:9. If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.
23:10. But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:
23:11. My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.
23:12. I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.
