And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I {shall} not {be}.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

The LORD {is} longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing {the guilty}, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth {generation}.

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear {the guilty}; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth {generation}.

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known {me}.

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear {the guilty}; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth {generation}.

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I {shall} not {be}.

Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. {become...: Heb. turned to be cruel} {thy...: Heb. the strength of thy hand}

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

The LORD {is} slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit {the wicked}: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds {are} the dust of his feet.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct {him}? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

{If} I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
