13 But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
    What his soul desires, even that he does.
14 For he performs that which is appointed for me.
    Many such things are with him.
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence.
    When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God has made my heart faint.
    The Almighty has terrified me.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
    neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

13 But [a]he is in one mind, and who can turn him?
And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 For he performeth that which is appointed for me:
And many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I terrified at his presence;
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God hath made my heart faint,
And the Almighty hath terrified me;
17 [b]Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
