For our atransgressions are multiplied before You, And our bsins testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And we know our iniquities:

Transgressing and adenying the Lord, And turning away from our God, Speaking boppression and revolt, Conceiving in and cuttering from the heart lying words.
