²⁸ I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.

¹²⁰ My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.

³ O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

¹⁵ I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.

¹⁶ The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.

⁶ At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear.

¹⁶ For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.

¹⁴ That, if I did wrong, you would take note of it, and would not make me clear from sin:

²⁰ Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner.

²¹ I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.

² Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

²¹ And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.

²⁵ For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.

⁷ You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
