20 ‘Only grant me these two things, God,and then I will not hide from you:
21 withdraw your hand far from me,and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22 Then summon me and I will answer,or let me speak, and you reply to me.
23 How many wrongs and sins have I committed?Show me my offence and my sin.
24 Why do you hide your faceand consider me your enemy?
25 Will you torment a wind-blown leaf?Will you chase after dry chaff?
26 For you write down bitter things against meand make me reap the sins of my youth.
