Oh, (A)that I knew where I might find him,
    that I might come even to his (B)seat!
I would (C)lay my case before him
    and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know what he would answer me
    and understand what he would say to me.
Would he (D)contend with me in the greatness of his power?
    No; he would pay attention to me.
There an upright man could argue with him,
    and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.

19 (B)Who is there who will contend with me?
    For then I would be silent and die.
20 Only grant me two things,
    then I will not (C)hide myself from your face:
21 (D)withdraw your hand far from me,
    and let not (E)dread of you terrify me.
22 (F)Then call, and I will answer;
    or let me speak, and you reply to me.
23 How many are my iniquities and my sins?
    (G)Make me know my transgression and my sin.
