16. He also is my deliverance, for a defiled one does not come before Him.

18. Look, please, I have prepared my case, I know that I am in the right.

20. Only two matters do not do to me, then I am not hidden from Your face:
21. Withdraw Your hand far from me, and let not dread of You make me afraid.
