I will say to God, Do not condemn me. Show me why thou contend with me.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant. For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit.
But deal thou with me, O lord LORD, for thy name's sake. Because thy loving kindness is good, deliver thou me,
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to thy loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
If he is pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Shall he who quibbles contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.
If I have sinned, what do I do to thee, O thou watcher of men? Why have thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
Why do thou strive against him because he does not give of any of his matters?
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
