"Howmanyare my iniquitiesand sins?Makeknownto me my rebellionand my sin.
"I will sayto God,Do not condemnme; Let me knowwhyYou contendwith me.
That You should seekfor my guiltAnd searchafter my sin?
"Is not your wickednessgreat,And your iniquitieswithoutend?
I am pure,withouttransgression;I am innocentand there is noguiltin me.
"Teachme, and I will be silent;And showme howI have erred.
"Whythen do You not pardonmy transgressionAnd takeawaymy iniquity?For nowI will liedownin the dust;And You will seekme, but I will not be."
Searchme, O God,and knowmy heart;Tryme and knowmy anxiousthoughts;
