Dreaming With Job: 23

I look to the East and see the sun rising 
I look to the west and see it rest
I look to the north and see clean air
To the south, I will come forth as gold

I stand alone and who can oppose me?
I do whatever I please
But I stand terrified before him
When I think of all this, I fear him

The force of almighty makes my heart faint
Yet I am not subdued by the darkness
The thick darkness that covers my face
Because I remember the kindness of the sun
