If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;
If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;
If you will seek God diligently and make your supplication to the Almighty,
If you will search eagerly for God, plead with the Almighty.
even so, you should arise early to God, so as to beseech the Almighty.
Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
If thou set thine heart aright, And stretch out thine hands toward him;
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause:
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to mine adversary.
