 - '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.

- clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?
 - You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.
 - "But this is what you concealed in your heart, and I know that this was in your mind:
 - If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished.
 - If I am guilty--woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head, for I am full of shame and drowned in my affliction.
