10. Yet he knows my way;if he tested me, I should come forth like gold.
11. My foot has always walked in his steps;I have kept his way and not turned aside.
12. From the commands of his lips I have not departed;the words of his mouth I have treasured in my heart.
13. But once he decides, who can contradict him?What he desires, that he does.
14. For he will carry out what is appointed for me,and many such things he has in store.
15. Therefore I am terrified before him;when I take thought, I dread him.
16. For it is God who has made my heart faint,the Almighty who has terrified me.
17. Yes, would that I had vanished in darkness,hidden by the thick gloom before me.
