20 At the least, grant me these two things; then I will not hide myself from thee:
21 withdraw thy hand from me; and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22 Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24 Why dost thou hide thy face, and hold me for thine enemy?
25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? Wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26 Why dost thou write bitter things against me and make me carry the iniquities of my youth.
