stop punishing and terrifying me!
I have only a few days left. Why don't you leave me alone? Let me find some relief,
and his glorious splendor would make you terrified.
I ask only two things of you, my God, and I will no longer hide from you--
so don't be afraid of me or what I might do.
Can someone snatch away the stick God carries to frighten me?
I tremble all over when I think of you and the way you judge.
"Won't you stop punishing me? You have worn me down.
But I did not. That would have disgraced me in front of the nations that had seen me bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
