In your virtue, you confirmed the sea. You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters.
Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
Surely then in vain have I cleansed my heart and washed my hands in innocency.
Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;
Meanwhile, I’ve kept my heart pure for no good reason; I’ve washed my hands to stay innocent for nothing.
