Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
He also [shall be] my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Only do not two [things] unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
How many [are] mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
