⁹ ‘I^(A) am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.

¹⁷ Although no violence is in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.

⁷ Although You know that I am not wicked,
And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?

⁴ For you have said,
^(A)‘My doctrine is pure,
And I am clean in your eyes.’

^14 (A)I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.

^35 (A)Yet you say, ‘Because I am innocent,
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, ^(B)I will plead My case against you,
^(C)Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

⁵ Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die ^(A)I will not put away my integrity from me.
⁶ My righteousness I ^(B)hold fast, and will not let it go;
^(C)My heart shall not ^[a]reproach me as long as I live.

^11 (A)My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
¹² I have not departed from the ^(B)commandment of His lips;
^(C)I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my ^[a]necessary food.

⁸ Upright men are astonished at this,
And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
