17 Pay close attention to my speech,give my statement a hearing.
18 Behold, I have prepared my case,I know that I am in the right.
19 If anyone can make a case against me,then I shall be silent and expire.
20 Two things only do not use against me,then from your presence I need not hide:
21 Withdraw your hand far from me,do not let the terror of you frighten me.
22 Then call me, and I will respond;or let me speak first, and answer me.
23 What are my faults and my sins?My misdeed, my sin make known to me!
