Job 38.8–11
who shackled the sea by your word of command,
who confined the deep
and sealed it with your terrible and glorious name,
4at whom all things shudder
and tremble before your power,
5for your glorious splendor cannot be borne,
and the wrath of your threat to sinners is unendurable;
6 #
Rom 11.33; Eph 3.8 yet immeasurable and unsearchable

Ps 86.15; Joel 2.13; Sir 2.11; 2 Cor 7.10 for you are the Lord Most High,

to those who have sinned against you,
and in the multitude of your mercies
you have appointed repentance for sinners,
so that they may be saved.#1.7 Other ancient authorities lack O Lord, according…be saved

Wis 12.19; Lk 15.7; 18.13 Therefore you, O Lord, God of the righteous,

Ezra 9.6; Ps 40.12; Isa 59.12 For the sins I have committed are more in number than the sand of the sea;
my transgressions are multiplied, O Lord, they are multiplied!
I am not worthy to look up and see the height of heaven
because of the multitude of my iniquities.

2 Kings 21.2, 7, 11; 2 Chr 33.7, 11; Sir 17.25 I am weighted down with many an iron fetter,
so that I am rejected#1.10 Other ancient authorities read so that I cannot lift up my head because of my sins,
and I have no relief,
for I have provoked your wrath
and have done what is evil in your sight,
setting up abominations and multiplying offenses.

11And now I bend the knee of my heart,
imploring you for your kindness.

and I acknowledge my transgressions.

Ps 63.9; 88.6 I earnestly implore you,
forgive me, O Lord, forgive me!
Do not destroy me with my transgressions!
Do not be angry with me forever or store up evil for me;
do not condemn me to the depths of the earth.
For you, O Lord, are the God of those who repent,
14and in me you will manifest your goodness,
for, unworthy as I am, you will save me according to your great mercy,

and yours is the glory forever. Amen.
