His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
If only I knew how to find him,
so that I could go to his throne.

“My complaint today is still a bitter one,
and I try hard not to groan aloud.
If only I knew where to find God,
I would go to his court.
I would lay out my case
and present my arguments.
Then I would listen to his reply
and understand what he says to me.

“Even today my complaint is bitter;
my hand is heavy in addition to my groaning.
O that I knew and that I might find him;
O that I might come to his dwelling.
I would lay my case before him,
and I would fill my mouth with arguments.
I want to know the words with which he would answer me,
and I want to understand what he would say to me.

KJV 1900King James Version
Even to day is my complaint bitter:
My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him!
That I might come even to his seat!
I would order my cause before him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which he would answer me,
And understand what he would say unto me.
