Who can understand his errors? Acquit me of that which is hidden;

restrain Your servant from arrogance; do not let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] i0 par Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Restore unto me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Perverse speech has prevailed against me; as for our transgressions, You shall atone for them.

O that my ways were fixed to keep Your Statutes!

My soul breaks with longing for Your Justice at all times.

Your Testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

DALETH: My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word.

I will run the course of Your Commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart.

Make me tread the path of Your Commandments, for I delight in it.

Behold, I have longed for Your Precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.

Direct my steps in Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.

Observe how I love Your Precepts; revive me, O Jehovah, according to Your lovingkindness.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your Commandments.

For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.

Then I said, Woe is me! for I am undone! for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts.

And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.

But He turned and said to Peter, Get behind Me, Satan! You are a snare to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.

Watch and pray, that you not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to desire is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one desiring to do good.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

I thank God; through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The Spirit who dwells in us yearns to envy?

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Is the Law then against the promises of God? Let it not be. For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been out of the Law.

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Let it not be! On the contrary, I would not have understood sin except through the Law. For I would not have known lust unless the Law had said, You shall not covet.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, produced in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

And the commandment, which was unto life, I found to be unto death.

Therefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

You have commanded us to keep Your Precepts diligently.

Then I shall not be ashamed, when I pay attention to all Your Commandments.

If You, YAH, should keep remembering iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

But he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.

And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, that you do not enter into temptation.

And having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.

And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was also with Him.

And after a little while another saw him and said, You also are of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I do not wish to do, that I do; moreover, what I hate, that I do.

But now, it is no longer I doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

For the good that I wish to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not wish to do, that I practice.

I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one desiring to do good.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold, since Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a flawless man, able also to bridle the whole body.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.
