For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
