“Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from Thee:
Only do not two things unto me; Then will I not hide myself from thy face:
“Only [O Lord,] do not do two things to me, And then I will not hide myself from Your face:
Only [O Lord] grant two conditions to me, and then will I not hide myself from You:

“God, just give me two things, and then I will not hide from you:
God, please do two things that will help me. If you do those things, I will no longer hide from you.
Just do two things for me, God. If you do, I will not hide from your face.
Only grant me two things, then I will not hide myself from your face:
Only grant me two things, then I will not hide myself from your face:

But do not these two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
“Please don’t do two things to me so that I won’t have to hide from you:

“Please, God, I have two requests; grant them so I’ll know I count with you: First, lay off the afflictions; the terror is too much for me. Second, address me directly so I can answer you, or let me speak and then you answer me. How many sins have been charged against me? Show me the list—how bad is it? Why do you stay hidden and silent? Why treat me like I’m your enemy? Why kick me around like an old tin can? Why beat a dead horse? You compile a long list of mean things about me, even hold me accountable for the sins of my youth. You hobble me so I can’t move about. You watch every move I make, and brand me as a dangerous character.
“Only grant me two things, then I will not hide myself from You:
“Please don’t do two things to me so that I won’t have to hide from you:
Two things only do not use against me, then from your presence I need not hide:

“Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face:
“Only grant me two things, O God, and then I will not hide myself from your face:
“God, please just give me these two things, and then I will not hide from you:
Only in two things spare me, O God, and then I will not hide from your face:
“God, I won’t hide from you. Here are the only two things I want.
“Only grant me these two things, God, and then I will not hide from you:
‘Only grant me these two things, God, and then I will not hide from you:
“Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide myself from You:
“Only two things I ask of You, and then I will not hide from Your face.
“O God, grant me these two things, and then I will be able to face you.
Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:
Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:
Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:
“Only grant two things to me; then I will not hide myself from your face:
Only do not shtayim (two things) unto me; then will I not hide myself from Thee.

Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from thy face:
“Only two things do not do to me; then I will not hide from Your face:
Lord, I ask only two concessions in this case; if You grant them, I will not hide from Your face.
“Only don’t do two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:
Do thou not to me two things only; and then I shall not be hid from thy face. (Do thou only two things for me; and then I shall not hide from thy face.)
Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.
