O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.
You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin in what I say.
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Don’t let my treacherous enemies rejoice over my defeat. Don’t let those who hate me without cause gloat over my sorrow.
My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.
You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh.
I am watching them closely, and I see every sin. They cannot hope to hide from me.
