How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my transgression and my sin.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why You contend with me.
that You inquire after my iniquity and search after my sin?
Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquity infinite?
‘I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, nor is there iniquity in me.
“Teach me, and I will hold my tongue, and make me understand how I have erred.
And why do You not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust; and You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me, and know my thoughts!
