Overcoming sin

Nevertheless,
notwithstanding the great goodness
of the Lord,
in showing me his great and marvelous works,
my heart exclaimeth:

“O wretched man that I am!”

Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh;
my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.

I am encompassed about,
because of the temptations
and the sins
which do so easily beset me.

And when I desire to rejoice,
my heart groaneth because of my sins;
nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.
