Who will give to me hearing to me.? Behold, my sign, the Almighty will answer me, and the man contending with me wrote a book.
Hearing, hear ye my words, and my declaration in your ears.
Why wilt thou hide thy face, and reckon me for an enemy to thee?
But I will speak to the Almighty; I shall delight to plead before God.
Set up now, pledge me with thee: who is he will strike for my hand?
And he will kindle his anger against me, and he will reckon me to him as his enemy.
Behold, I shall cry violence, and shall I not be answered: I shall cry for help, and no judgment
Mine enemy shall be as the unjust one, and he rising up against me, as the evil one.
I shall cry to thee and thou wilt not answer me: I stood up and thou wilt not attend to me.
But prayer is nothing; he will send forth the hand, if in his calamity to them a cry for help.
I went darkened without warmth: I rose up, I shall cry in the convocation.
If not, I shall lift it up upon my shoulder, I will bind it a crown to me
Behold, I am according to thy mouth for God: from clay was I also broken off
Also if thou shalt say thou wilt not see him, judgment is before him, and thou shalt wait for him.
Shall he contending with the Almighty, instruct? he reproving God shall answer it
TO David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I went in mine integrity, and in Jehovah I trusted: I shall not waver.
Be kindly disposed to thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest thy opponent should deliver thee to the judge, and the judge should deliver thee to the assistant, and thou be cast into prison.
