20“aHave I sinned? What have I done to You,
O bwatcher of men?
Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?
21“Why then ado You not forgive my transgression
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will blie down in the dust;
And You will seek me earnestly, cbut I will not be.”

If I have sinned, what have I done to you,
O watcher of all humanity?

For soon I will lie down in the dust and die.
When you look for me, I will be gone.”

KJV 1900King James Version
I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee,
O thou preserver of men?
Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee,
So that I am a burden to myself?
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression,
And take away mine iniquity?
For now shall I sleep in the dust;
And thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
