17. For He crushes me with a tempest,And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18. He will not allow me to catch my breath,But fills me with bitterness.
19. If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong;And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?
20. Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.
