that I might come even to his ^cseat!
4 I would ^dlay my case before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.

and understand what he would say to me.
6 Would he ^econtend with me in the greatness of his power?
No; he would pay attention to me.
7 There an upright man could argue with him,
and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
