²⁷     If I tell myself, “I will forget all about my grievance against God,
        I will simply abandon my long face and cheer up,”
²⁸     Then I fear the suffering to come
        because I know there’s no chance that You, Lord, will find me innocent.
²⁹     So if the verdict is already in, if I have already been found guilty,
        why should I bother to clear my name?
        Why struggle in vain?
