I am very near to falling; my wounds are with me always.
Had I, all too human, hidden my sins and buried my guilt in my bosom
He shall sing before all and say, “I sinned and did wrong, yet I was not punished accordingly.
Then I declared my sin to you; my guilt I did not hide. I said, “I confess my transgression to the Lord,” and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah
Have mercy on me, God, in accord with your merciful love; in your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions.
Those who conceal their sins do not prosper, but those who confess and forsake them obtain mercy.
