I confess my guilt; I am troubled by my sin.
I have not hidden my sin as others do, secretly keeping my guilt to myself.
Then he will say to others, ‘I sinned and twisted what was right, but I did not receive the punishment I should have received.
Then I confessed my sins to you and didn’t hide my guilt. I said, “I will confess my sins to the Lord,” and you forgave my guilt.Selah
I know about my wrongs, and I can’t forget my sin.
If you hide your sins, you will not succeed. If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.
