20 (A)Have I sinned? What have I done to You,
O (B)watcher of men?
Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?

And take away my iniquity?
For now I will (D)lie down in the dust;
And You will seek me earnestly, (E)but I will not be.”

    and forgive my sins?(D)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(E)
    you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(F)
