3 If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
Don't enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.
If I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
"Truly I know that it is so, But how can man be just with God? If he is pleased to contend with him, He can't answer him one time in a thousand.

All we like sheep have gone astray; everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
