How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.
I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with me.
That You should seek for my iniquity And search out my sin,
Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquity without end?
‘I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.
“Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Why then 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 no longer be.”
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;
