15. Even if he slays me, I will hope in him;I will surely defend my ways to his face!
16. Moreover, this will become my deliverance,for no godless person would come before him.
17. Listen carefully to my words;let your ears be attentive to my explanation.
18. See now, I have prepared my case;I know that I am right.
19. Who will contend with me?If anyone can, I will be silent and die.
20. Only in two things spare me, O God,and then I will not hide from your face:
21. Remove your hand far from meand stop making me afraid with your terror.
22. Then call, and I will answer,or I will speak, and you respond to me.
23. How many are my iniquities and sins?Show me my transgression and my sin.
24. Why do you hide your faceand regard me as your enemy?
