23 aHow many are my iniquities and sins?
Make known to me my transgression and my sin.
24 Why do You ahide Your face
And think of me as bYour enemy?
25 Will You cause a adriven leaf to tremble?
Or will You pursue the dry bchaff?
26 For You write abitter things against me
And bmake me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27 You aput my feet in the stocks
And kept watch over all my paths;
You set a limit for the soles of my feet,
28 While I am decaying like a arotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth‑eaten.
