But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food].
But he [is] in one [mind], and who can turn him? and [what] his soul desireth, even [that] he doeth.
For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
[Some] remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed [thereof].
