28. I am afraid of all my sorrows;I know that You will not hold me innocent.
29. If I am guilty,why then do I labor in vain?

32. “For He is not a man as I am, that I should answer Him,and we should come together in judgment.

34. Let Him take His rod away from me,and let not dread of Him terrify me.
35. Then I would speak and not fear Him,but it is not so with me.
