“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.
