In context
4 I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.
5 I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.
6 Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
7 There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
8 See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
9 I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
10 For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
