7 Thou knowest that I cannot do wickedly, and that no man can deliver me from thy hand. 8 Thy hands have made me, they have fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou destroy me? 9 Remember that thou haste made me as of clay, and that thou shalt bring me into dust again. ⟨p. 197⟩10 Haste not thou poured me out like milk, hast not thou set me together like cheese? 11 Haste thou not clothed me with skin and flesh, [and] knit me together with bones and sinews? 12 Thou hast given me life and grace, and thy visitation hath preserved my Soul. 13 These things haste thou hidden in thee, and yet notwithstanding I know that it is so with thee. 14 If I have sinned, thou wilt imprison me: thou wilt not suffer me to scape unpunished. 15 If I have done a miss, woe is me: If I have bin righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head, seeing I am filled with shame, and knowing mine affliction.
