No, it's because you have sinned so much; it's because of all the evil you do.

If we had stopped worshiping our God and prayed to a foreign god,

you would surely have discovered it, because you know our secret thoughts.

But if people are bound in chains, suffering for what they have done,

God shows them their sins and their pride.

Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover my thoughts.
