Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil. Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin. Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.”
