For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom:
He looks on men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
I acknowledge my sin to you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
