New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

3 Otherwise my mistakes may be multiplied,
    and my sins may abound,
and I may fall before my adversaries,
    and my enemy may rejoice over me.[a](A)
4 O Lord, Father and God of my life,
    do not give me haughty eyes,(B)
5     and remove desire from me.
