35 Oh that I had one to hear me!
Here is my [a]signature;
(A)Let the Almighty answer me!
And the indictment which my (B)adversary has written,
36 I would certainly carry it on my shoulder,
I would tie it to myself like a garland.
37 I would declare to Him (C)the number of my steps;
Like (D)a prince, I would approach Him.
