Maybe the "himself" is a reference to Jesus. So the righteousness that any of us has is from "himself" and the wickedness was upon "himself."

Well, I'll give you an "A" for creative exegesis, but an "F" for cruel and unusual punishment of a scripture verse. ;o)

There are other passages to consider as well.

But now, if thou wilt forgive their sin -- and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written."
But the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. (Exodus 32:32-33)

That's what I was going for. :-)
