Do You see as a human being sees? 5Are Your days like those of a mortal, or Your years like those of a strong man, that You should seek out my iniquity and search out my sin, 7though You know that I am not guilty, yet there is no one to deliver from Your hand? 8“Your hands molded and fashioned me, will You now destroy me completely?
