I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that You will not hold me innocent;
If I sin, even You watch me; and You will not acquit me from my guilt.
For now You number my steps; do You not watch over my sin?
If I speak, my pain is not held back; and if I forbear, what part of me goes away?
And if I remember, I am dismayed; and shuddering seizes on my flesh.
For the dreadful thing I dreaded has come on me; and that which I feared has come to me.
behold, He finds alienation on me; He considers me His enemy;
And why do You not lift up my transgression, and make my iniquity pass away? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and You shall seek me; but I will not be.
Truly I know it is so; but how can man be just with God?
My flesh has shivered because of Your fear; and I have feared Your judgments.
If You will keep iniquities, O Jehovah, O Lord, who shall stand?
You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; for Jehovah will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain.
