For even when I remember, I am alarmed, and pains seize my flesh.

I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.

Your wrath has passed over me; and Your terrors have greatly disquieted me.

Penetrate my flesh with Your fear; for I am afraid of Your judgments.

Truly I know it is so, for how shall a mortal man be righteous before the Lord?

For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane, and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse.

For even if I have sinned, I know it not in my soul: but my life is taken away.

But You have numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape You.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes His name in vain.

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
