For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.
Your righteousness—the perfect filter, the flawless lens through which all my actions and thoughts must be judged. I can argue, I can apply my skills of sophistry, I can search out a boat bound for Tarshish but I cannot avoid the fact that I have sinned against You and against You alone.
