Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous (deliberate, willful) sins;Let them not rule and have control over me.Then I will be blameless (complete),And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,And whose sin is covered.

Transgression speaks [like an oracle] to the wicked (godless) [deep] within his heart;There is no fear (dread) of God before his eyes.

Look! They lie in wait for my life;Fierce and powerful men [are uniting together to] launch an attack against me,Not for my wrongdoing nor for any sin of mine, O Lord.

Then I will punish their transgression with the rod [of discipline],And [correct] their wickedness with stripes.
