Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.

For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.

Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.

But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him!
