If you would seek to God betimes, and make your supplication to the Almighty;
If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;
Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
