Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;
Though you see that I am not an evil-doer; and there is no one who is able to take a man out of your hands?
See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right.
But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.
Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean.
So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.
For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.
Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.

Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.
The sinner is overturned in his evil-doing, but the upright man has hope in his righteousness.

Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.
When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.
