20 I ask only two thingsof you, my God,and I will no longerhide from you—
21 stop punishingand terrifying me!
22 Then speak, and I will reply;or else let me speak,and you reply.
23 Please point out my sins,so I will know them.
24 Why have you turned your backand count me your enemy?
25 Do you really enjoyfrightening a fallen leaf?
26 Why do you accuse meof horrible crimesand make me pay for sinsI did in my youth?
