Lexicon :: Strong's H5771 - ʿāôn

I was blameless toward him

and kept myself from my iniquity.

LORD, for the sake of your name,

forgive my iniquity, for it is immense.

Indeed, my life is consumed with grief

and my years with groaning;

my strength has failed

because of my iniquity,[fn]

and my bones waste away.

How joyful is a person whom

the LORD does not charge with iniquity

and in whose spirit is no deceit!

Then I acknowledged my sin to you

and did not conceal my iniquity.

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.Selah

For with his flattering opinion of himself,

he does not discover and hate his iniquity.

For my iniquities have flooded over my head;

they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.

So I confess my iniquity;

I am anxious because of my sin.

“You discipline a person with punishment for iniquity,

consuming like a moth what is precious to him;

yes, every human being is only a vapor.Selah

For troubles without number have surrounded me;

my iniquities have overtaken me; I am unable to see.

They are more than the hairs of my head,

and my courage leaves me.

Why should I fear in times of trouble?

The iniquity of my foes surrounds me.

Completely wash away my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.

Indeed, I was guilty when I was born;

I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

Turn your face away[fn] from my sins

and blot out all my guilt.

For no fault of mine,

they run and take up a position.

Awake to help me, and take notice.

Iniquities overwhelm me;

only you can atone for our rebellions.

Charge them with crime on top of crime;

do not let them share in your righteousness.

Yet he was compassionate;

he atoned for their iniquity

and did not destroy them.

He often turned his anger aside

and did not unleash[fn] all his wrath.

Do not hold past iniquities[fn] against us;

let your compassion come to us quickly,

for we have become very weak.

You forgave your people’s guilt;

you covered all their sin.Selah

“then I will call their rebellion

to account with the rod,

their iniquity with blows.

You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your presence.

He forgives all your iniquity;

he heals all your diseases.

He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve

or repaid us according to our iniquities.

He rescued them many times,

but they continued to rebel deliberately

and were beaten down by their iniquity.

Fools suffered affliction

because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities.

Let the iniquity of his fathers

be remembered before the LORD,

and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.

LORD, if you kept an account of iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

And he will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.
