Psalms 130:3

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? "Mark" - i:e., take strict account of iniquities (; ; ). "Stand" is a legal term for, be justified (cf. ). To fall - i:e., to be condemned-is the opposite term (cf. note, ; ; ). If thou, Jah (the concentrated essence of all that Yahweh implies), shouldest mark mine iniquities which are the cause of my sufferings, then I should have no hope of deliverance "O Lord (Adonai), who should stand?" But thou will not mark them.
