Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, and come to an end [of the matter]!

Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I cannot lift myself up, for I am full of dishonor.

For the fear of the Lord constrained me, and I cannot bear up by reason of His burden.

I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.

Penetrate my flesh with Your fear; for I am afraid of Your judgments.

I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.
