But if you earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,
If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;
If you will seek God diligently and make your supplication to the Almighty,
If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;
If you will search eagerly for God, plead with the Almighty.
even so, you should arise early to God, so as to beseech the Almighty.
Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer –
See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.
Even if I were in the right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
