17 Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.
18 Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.
19 Who [is] he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.
20 Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.
21 Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.
22 And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and answer Thou me.
23 How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.
