with him;

So should I be delivered for ever

is not there;

And backward, but I cannot
perceive him:

9 On the left hand, when he doth
work, but I cannot behold
him:

He 12 hideth himself on the right
hand, that I cannot see him.
10 18 But he "knoweth 14 the way
that I 'take;

When he hath "tried me, I shall
come forth as gold.

11 My foot "hath held fast to his
steps;

His way have I kept, and "turned
not aside.

12 I have not gone back from the
commandment of his lips;

13

I have treasured up the words
of his mouth 16 more than my
16 necessary food.

But 17 he is in one mind, and
who can turn him?

And what his soul desireth,
even that he doeth.

14 For he performeth that which is
appointed for me:

And many such things are with
him.

15 Therefore am I troubled at his
presence;

When I consider, I am afraid of

him.
