16. He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17. Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18. Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19. Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20. Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21. Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
