- Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
- Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
- And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
- If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
- If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
|
- Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?
- 'You have granted me life and lovingkindness; And Your care has preserved my spirit.
- 'Yet these things You have concealed in Your heart; I know that this is within You:
- If I sin, then You would take note of me, And would not acquit me of my guilt.
- 'If I am wicked, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery.
