5 But if you will seek God earnestly

and plead with the Almighty,

5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes,

And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

5 But if you pray to God

and seek the favor of the Almighty,

5 If you would earnestly seek God

And make your supplication to the Almighty,

5 But you should ask God for help

and pray to the Almighty for mercy.

5 If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God,

And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

5 If thou seek earnestly unto •God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

5 If you search for God 

and plead for mercy from the Almighty, 

5 But if you earnestly seek God

and ask the Almighty for mercy,

5 If you will seek God

and make supplication to the Almighty,

5 If you yourself would seek God,

then you would plead to Shaddai for grace.

5 But look to God.

Make your appeal to the Mighty One.

5 “If you would seek God

And implore the compassion of the Almighty,
