18 Beholde, now haue I prepared my iudgement, and knowe that I shalbe founde righteous. 19 What is he that wyll go to lawe with me? if I now holde my tongue I dye. 20 Neuerthelesse, graunt me two thinges, and then wyll I not hide my selfe from thee: 21 Withdrawe thyne hande from me, and let not the fearefull dreade of thee make me afrayde. 22 Then call, and I wyll aunswere: or let me speake, and geue me then an aunswere. 23 How many are my misdeedes and sinnes? let me knowe my transgressions and offences. 24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thyne enemie? 25 Wylt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro, and wilt thou pursue the drye stubble? 26 For thou layest sharply to my charge, and punishest me for the sinnes of my youth. 27 Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lokest narowly vnto all my pathes, and makest the print thereof in the heeles of my feete: 28 And I as a rotten thing do consume away, as a garment that is moth eaten.
