16. My face is red with tears,and dark shadowscircle my eyes,
17. though I am not violent,and my prayers are sincere.
18. If I should die,I beg the earth not to covermy cry for justice.
19. Even now, God in heavenis both my witnessand my protector.
20. My friends have rejected me,but God is the one I beg
21. to show that I am right,just as a friend should.
