Psalms 32:3-7

3When 1I kept silent about my sin, 2my 3body wasted away Through my 4 5groaning all day long.4For day and night 6Your hand was heavy upon me; My 7 8vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. 9Selah.5I 10acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I 11did not hide; I said, “12I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”; And You 13forgave the 14guilt of my sin. Selah.6Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You 15 16in a time when You may be found; Surely 17in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.7You are 18my hiding place; You 19preserve me from trouble; You surround me with 20 21songs of deliverance. Selah.
