The word daysman in verse 33 of chapter 9. I browsed through Gill, Henry and then settled on Jamison, Fossett and Brown's commentary:
daysman — “mediator,” or “umpire”; the imposition of whose hand expresses power to adjudicate between the persons. There might be one on a level with Job, the one party; but Job knew of none on a level with the Almighty, the other party (1Sa_2:25). We Christians know of such a Mediator (not, however, in the sense of umpire) on a level with both - the God-man, Christ Jesus (1Ti_2:5).

Liked Wesley's as well:
Days - man - Or, umpire. Lay his hand - Order and govern us in pleading; and oblige us to stand to his decision. Our Lord Jesus is now the blessed days - man, who has mediated between heaven and earth, has laid his hand upon us both: to him the father hath committed all judgment. But this was not made so clear then, as it is now by the gospel, which leaves no room for such a complaint as this.
