3

"Ohh4310h5414 that I knewh3045 where I might findh4672 Him, That I might comeh935 to His seath8499!

4

5

"I would learnh3045 the wordsh4405 which He would  1answerh6030a, And perceiveh995 whath4100 He would sayh559 to me.

6

"Would He contendh7378 with me by  athe greatnessh7230 of His powerh3581b? Noh3808, surelyh389 He would payh7760 attentionh7760 to me.

7

"Thereh8033 the uprighth3477 would  areasonh3198 with Him; And I  1would be  bdeliveredh6403 foreverh5331 from my Judgeh8199.

8

"Beholdh2005, I goh1980 forwardh6924a but He is not there, And backwardh268, but I  acannoth3808 perceiveh995 Him;

9

When He actsh6213a on the lefth8040, I cannoth3808 beholdh2372 Him; He turnsh5848a on the righth3225, I cannoth3808 seeh7200 Him.

10

"But He knowsh3045 the  1wayh1870 I takeh5973; When He has  atriedh974 me, I shall comeh3318 forthh3318 as goldh2091.

11

"My footh7272 has  aheldh270 fasth270 to His pathh804a; I have kepth8104 His wayh1870 and not turnedh5186 asideh5186.

12

"I have not departedh4185 from the commandh4687 of His lipsh8193; I have treasuredh6845 the  awordsh561 of His mouthh6310  1moreh4480 thanh4480 my  2necessaryh2706 foodh2706.

13

"But He is uniqueh259 and whoh4310 can turnh7725 Him? And what His soulh5315 desiresh183, that He doesh6213a.

14

"For He performsh7999a whath2706 is appointedh2706 for me, And manyh7227a suchh1992a decrees are with Him.

15

"Thereforeh5921h3651, I would be dismayedh926 at His presenceh6440; When I considerh995, I am terrifiedh6342 of Him.

16

"It is Godh410 who has made my  ahearth3820 fainth7401, And the Almightyh7706b who has dismayedh926 me,

17

But I  aam not silencedh6789 by the darknessh2822, Norh3808  bdeep gloomh652 which coversh3680 me.
