² I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.

² And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

²⁹ I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?

³¹ But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ The crown is fallen from our head: Woe unto us! for we have sinned.

¹⁷ For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

⁴⁰ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.

⁴¹ Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

⁴² We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;

²⁴ And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 140 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

²¹ But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;

¹ O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

² For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

³ There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

⁴ For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

⁵ My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

⁶ I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

⁷ For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.

⁸ I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

¹ O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

² Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

³ My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

⁴ Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.

³¹ For hath any said unto God, I have borne `chastisement', I will not offend `any more':

³² That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

⁵ If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

⁶ If thou wert pure and upright: Surely now he would awake for thee, And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
