The Unfairness of His Enemies

Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs on my head.
Those who want to destroy me, my lying enemies, are strong.
I must repay things I did not steal.

His Guilt and Shame

God, you know my folly,
and my guilt is not hidden from you.
May those who place their confidence in you[a]
    not be put to shame because of me,
    O Lord, the Lord of Armies.
May those who seek you not be disgraced because of me,
    O God of Israel.
