“Look,(A) I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
10 But (B)He knows the way that I take;
When (C)He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 (D)My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the (E)commandment of His lips;
(F)I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my [a]necessary food.

13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?
And whatever (G)His soul desires, that He does.
14 For He performs what is (H)appointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.
