15 He will slay me; I’m without hope;I will surely prove my way to his face.
16 Also this will be my vindication,that a godless person won’t come before him.
17 Listen closely to my wordsso that my remarks will be in your ears.
18 Look, I have laid out my case;I know that I’m innocent.
19 Who would dare contend with me,for then I would be quiet and die.
20 Only don’t do two things to me,then I won’t hide from your face.
21 Remove your hand far from meand don’t terrify me with your anger.
