I will say to God, ‘Do not declare me guilty! Let me know why you prosecute me.
even though you know that I am not wicked and that there is no one who can rescue from your power?
Even if he kills me, I will hope in him. I will still defend my ways before him.
Your iniquity teaches you what to say, and you choose the language of the crafty.
Then an upright man could reason with him, and I would escape from my Judge , for ever.
Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:
Would you really challenge my justice? Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?
Reconsider; don’t be unjust. Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue.
