Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 3If You, Lord, should keep an account of our sins and treat us accordingly, O Lord, who could stand [before you in judgment and claim innocence]? 4But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared and worshiped [with submissive wonder].
