The One Who Represents Mortals Before God

18-22 “O Earth, don’t cover up the wrong done to me!
    Don’t muffle my cry!
There must be Someone in heaven who knows the truth about me,
    in highest heaven, some Attorney who can clear my name—
My Champion, my Friend,
    while I’m weeping my eyes out before God.

    as a neighbor stands up for a neighbor.

“Only a few years are left
    before I set out on the road of no return.”
