"But as for me, I would seekGod,And I would placemy causebeforeGod;
"Ifyou would directyour heartrightAnd spreadout your handto Him,
"Whatyou knowI alsoknow;I am not inferiorto you.
"But I would speakto the Almighty,And I desireto arguewith God.
"Yieldnowand be at peacewith Him; Thereby goodwill cometo you.
"You will prayto Him, and He will hearyou; And you will payyour vows.
"Ifyou would seekGodAnd implorethe compassionof the Almighty,
Commityour wayto the LORD,Trustalso in Him, and He will doit.
Callupon Me in the dayof trouble;I shall rescueyou, and you will honorMe."
But, O LORDof hosts,who judgesrighteously,Who triesthe feelingsand the heart,Let me seeYour vengeanceon them, For to You have I committedmy cause.
For thisreasonI alsosufferthese things,but I am not ashamed;for I knowwhomI have believedand I am convincedthat He is ableto guardwhat I have entrustedto Him untilthat day.
and while being reviled,He did not revile in return;while suffering,He utterednothreats,but kept entrusting[Himself] to Him who judgesrighteously;
Therefore,thosealsowho sufferaccordingto the willof Godshall entrusttheir soulsto a faithfulCreatorin doing what is right.
