What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
What then shall I do when God rises up [to judge]? When He visits [to inquire of me], what shall I answer Him? [Ps. 44:21.]
what could I do when God rises; when he requires an account, what could I answer?
then what will I do when God rises to judge, and, when he inquires, how will I respond to him?
