15. Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways before Him.
16. Yes, this will result in my deliverance,for no godless person can appear before Him.
17. Pay close attention to my words;let my declaration ring in your ears.
18. Now then, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.
19. Can anyone indict me?If so, I will be silent and die.
20. Only grant these two things to me, God,so that I will not have to hide from Your presence:
21. remove Your hand from me,and do not let Your terror frighten me.
22. Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and You can respond to me.
23. How many iniquities and sins have I committed? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
24. Why do You hide Your faceand consider me Your enemy?
25. Will You frighten a wind-driven leaf?Will You chase after dry straw?
26. For You record bitter accusations against meand make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
