20 “Only grant me these two things, God,

and then I will not hide from you:

21 Withdraw your hand far from me,

and stop frightening me with your terrors.

22 Then summon me and I will answer,

or let me speak, and you reply to me.

20 Only do not two things unto me:

Then will I not hide myself from thee.

21 Withdraw thine hand far from me:

And let not thy dread make me afraid.

22 Then call thou, and I will answer:

Or let me speak, and answer thou me.

20 “O God, grant me these two things,

and then I will be able to face you.

21 Remove your heavy hand from me,

and don’t terrify me with your awesome presence.

22 Now summon me, and I will answer!

Or let me speak to you, and you reply.

20 “Only two things do not do to me,

Then I will not hide myself from You:

21 Withdraw Your hand far from me,

And let not the dread of You make me afraid.

22 Then call, and I will answer;

Or let me speak, then You respond to me.

20 “God, please just give me these two things,

and then I will not hide from you:

21 Take your punishment away from me,

and stop frightening me with your terrors.

22 Then call me, and I will answer,

or let me speak, and you answer.

20 Only do not two things unto me;

Then will I not hide myself from thy face:

21 Withdraw thy hand far from me;

And let not thy terror make me afraid.

22 Then call thou, and I will answer;

Or let me speak, and answer thou me.

20 Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from thee. 21 Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid: 22 Then call, and I will answer; or I will speak, and answer thou me.

20 “Please don’t do two things to me 

so that I won’t have to hide from you: 

21 Stop oppressing me. 

Don’t let your terror frighten me. 

22 Then call, and I’ll answer. 

Otherwise, I’ll speak, and you’ll answer me. 

20 Only grant these two things to me, God,

so that I will not have to hide from Your presence:

21 remove Your hand from me,

and do not let Your terror frighten me.

22 Then call, and I will answer,

or I will speak, and You can respond to me.

20 Only grant two things to me,

then I will not hide myself from your face:

21 withdraw your hand far from me,

and do not let dread of you terrify me.

22 Then call, and I will answer;

or let me speak, and you reply to me.

20 “Only you must not do these two things to me;

then I will not hide from your face:

21 withdraw your hand from me,

and let not your dread terrify me.

22 Then call, and I myself will answer;

or let me speak, then reply to me.

20 “God, I won’t hide from you.

Here are the only two things I want.

21 Keep your powerful hand far away from me.

And stop making me so afraid.

22 Then send for me, and I’ll answer.

Or let me speak, and you reply.

20 “Only two things do not do to me,

Then I will not hide from Your face:

21 Remove Your hand from me,

And let not the dread of You terrify me.

22 “Then call, and I will answer;

Or let me speak, then reply to me.
