Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

But who will grant that God would speak, and open His lips against you,

“Only [O Lord,] do not do two things to me,
And then I will not hide myself from Your face:

Who will grant that You would hide me in the grave, that You would keep me secret, until Your wrath is past, that You would set me a fixed time and remember me?

Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven?

God forbid, that I should grant your cause to be right! As for me, until mine end come will I never go from my innocence.

"If I refused to grant the desire of the poor or exhausted the eyes of the widow,

"Who will grant me a hearing? Here's my signature let the Almighty answer! Since my adversary indicted me,

If he deliver and grant pardon, who will judge or condemn? But if he hide away his countenance, who will turn it about again, whether it be to the people or to any man?

He will not keep alive one who is lawless, but, the right of oppressed ones, will he grant;

because God didn't grant her wisdom and never gave her understanding.
