18 I have prepared my case;I will be proved innocent.
19 Who can argue with me over this?And if you prove me wrong, I will remain silent and die.
20 “O God, grant me these two things,and then I will be able to face you.
21 Remove your heavy hand from me,and don’t terrify me with your awesome presence.
22 Now summon me, and I will answer!Or let me speak to you, and you reply.
23 Tell me, what have I done wrong?Show me my rebellion and my sin.
24 Why do you turn away from me?Why do you treat me as your enemy?
