⁹ 'I am clean, without disobedience. 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 you know that I am not wicked, There is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

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

⁴ For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, I am clean in your eyes.'

²¹ I am blameless. I don't regard myself. I despise my life.

³⁵ Yet you said, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you, because you say, I have not sinned.

⁵ Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

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

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

¹² I haven't 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. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

²³ How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my disobedience and my sin.

¹⁸ See 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 you will not hold me innocent.

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

¹⁷ For he breaks me with a tempest, Multiplies my wounds without cause.
