And enter not into judgment with thy servant;
For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;

He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Therefore [a]is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is desolate.

Do not bring your servant into judgment,

    my heart within me is dismayed.(D)
