I would lay out my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would order my cause before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
I would lay my cause before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
I would lay out my case before him, fill my mouth with arguments,
I would place judgment before his eye, and my mouth would fill with criticism,
I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints:
Deliver me, please, from my brother’s hand, from Esau’s hand, for I’m afraid of him that he’ll come and strike me—the mothers with the children.
See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.
Still, I desire to speak to Shaddai and to argue my case with God.
If only I knew where to find Him; if only I could go to His dwelling.
I would know with what words He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.
Teach us what to say to Him; we cannot prepare a case because of the darkness.
“Will the one who contends with Shaddai correct him? Let him who accuses God answer!”
For Your Name’s sake, Adonai, pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Vindicate me, O God, and champion my cause against an ungodly nation. From a deceitful and unjust man, deliver me!
Remind me, when we argue our case together—state your case, so you may be proved right.
