16 This is my salvation.The wicked cannot come before him.
17 Listen carefully to my words;let your ears hear what I say.
18 See, I have prepared my case,and I know I will be proved right.
19 No one can accuse me of doing wrong.If someone can, I will be quiet and die.
20 “God, please just give me these two things,and then I will not hide from you:
21 Take your punishment away from me,and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22 Then call me, and I will answer,or let me speak, and you answer.
