18 He doesn’t let me catch my breath,for he fills me with bitterness.
19 If the issue is strength—behold power!If justice—who calls God to meet me?
20 If I’m innocent, my mouth condemns me;I have integrity; but God declares me perverse.
21 I’m blameless, yet don’t know myself;I reject my life.
22 It’s all the same;therefore, I say God destroys the blameless and the sinners.
23 If calamity suddenly kills,he mocks at the slaying of innocents.
24 The earth is handed over to the wicked;he covers the faces of its judges.If not God, then who does?
