I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
