I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me.
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 if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
I have sinned; what shall I do to you, O you preserver of men? why have you set me as a mark against you, so that I am a burden to myself?
If I be wicked, why then labor I in vain?
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
But do you for me, O GOD the Lord, for your name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver you me.
And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also on me, and answer me.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
