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

¹⁷ Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

⁷ Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

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

⁴ For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

²¹ Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

³⁵ Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.

⁵ God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove 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 his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

¹² Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

⁸ Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

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

¹⁸ Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

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 laugh at the trial of the innocent.

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