For I confessmy iniquity;I am fullof anxietybecauseof my sin.
"Have I coveredmy transgressionslike Adam,By hidingmy iniquityin my bosom,
"He will singto menand say,I have sinnedand pervertedwhatis right,And it is not properfor me.
I acknowledgedmy sinto You, And my iniquityI did not hide;I said,"I will confessmy transgressionsto the LORD";And You forgavethe guiltof my sin.Selah.
For I knowmy transgressions,And my sinis everbeforeme.
He who concealshis transgressionswill not prosper,But he who confessesand forsakes[them] will findcompassion.
