    if I go to the west, I do not find him.
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
    when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.(A)
10 But he knows the way that I take;(B)
    when he has tested me,(C) I will come forth as gold.(D)

12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;(G)
    I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.(H)
