Rh :Hear diligently my speech,
 * And my declaration with your ears.
 * Behold now, I have ordered my cause;
 * I know that I shall be justified.
 * Who is he that will plead with me?
 * For now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
 * Only do not two things unto me:
 * Then will I not hide myself from thee.
 * Withdraw thine hand far from me:
 * And let not thy dread make me afraid.
 * Then call thou, and I will answer:
 * Or let me speak, and answer thou me.
 * How many are mine iniquities and sins?
 * Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
 * Wherefore hidest thou thy face,
 * And holdest me for thine enemy?
 * Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro?
 * And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
 * For thou writest bitter things against me,
 * And makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
 * Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths;
 * Thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
 * And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth,
 * As a garment that is moth eaten.
