15. Though he slay me, yet will I wait for him: nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.
16. This also shall be my salvation; for a godless man shall not come before him.
17. Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.
18. Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I am righteous.
19. Who is he that will contend with me? for now shall I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
20. Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from thy face:
21. Withdraw thine hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid.
22. Then call thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23. How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
