Context of Psalms 90:7
5You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep [forgotten as soon as they are gone]; In the morning they are like grass which grows anew— 6In the morning it flourishes and springs up; In the evening it wilts and withers away. For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been terrified. 8You have placed our wickedness before you, Our secret sins [which we tried to conceal, You have placed] in the [revealing] light of Your presence. 9For all our days pass away in Your wrath; We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

Secret sins are known to God, and shall be reckoned for. See the folly of those who go about to cover their sins, for they cannot do so.
