I confess my iniquity, I am sorry for my sin.
if I have concealed my transgressions from men, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
and he sings before men, and says: ‘I sinned, and perverted what was right, and it was not requited to me.
I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my trangressions to the Lord”; then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. Selah
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
