if thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
