23:8 “If I go to the east, he is not there,
and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.
23:9 In the north
I do not see him;
when he turns
I see no trace of him.
23:10 But he knows the pathway that I take;
if he tested me, I would come forth like gold.
23:11 My feet
I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.
23:12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.
