That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin seekest?

How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.

Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,

My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,
