Let Him not crush me with a dark storm: but He has made my bruises many without cause.

For You know that I have not committed iniquity, but who is he that can deliver out of Your hands?

For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before Him.

[ 16:18] Yet there was no injustice on my hands, and my prayer is pure.

And I will go forth according to His commandments, for I have kept His ways; and I shall not turn aside from His commandments,

neither shall I transgress; but I have hid His words in my bosom.

Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die! For I will not let go my innocence,

but keeping fast to my righteousness, I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done anything amiss.

Also I put on righteousness, and clothed myself with judgment like a mantle.

For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn.

I quake in all my limbs, for I know that You will not leave me alone as innocent.

Wonder has seized true men upon this, and let the just rise up against the transgressor.

Yet you said, I am innocent: only let His wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I [will] plead with you, in that you say, I have not sinned.
