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.
         
                                
                        24 Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy  to Thee?
