⁹ I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

¹⁷ Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.

⁷ Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

¹⁴ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

⁴ For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.

²¹ I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.

³⁵ Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.

⁵ Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

⁶ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach `me' so long as I live.

¹¹ My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.

¹² I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

⁸ Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

²³ How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.

¹⁸ Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.

²⁸ I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

²³ If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.

¹⁷ For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
