How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known my transgressions and my sin.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; make me know why You contend with me.
that You seek out my iniquity, and search for my sin?
Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquity without measure?
You said, I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and no iniquity is in me;
Teach me, and I will be silent; and cause me to understand where I have gone astray.
And why do You not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall sleep in the dust, and You shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts,
