For I confess my crookedness; I am sorry over my sin.
If I have covered my transgressions like Aḏam, by hiding my crookedness in my bosom,
He sings to men and says, ‘I have sinned, and I have perverted what was right, and it did not profit me.
I acknowledged my sin to You, And my crookedness I did not hide. I have said, “I confess my transgressions to יהוה,” And You forgave the crookedness of my sin. Selah.
For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
He who hides his transgressions does not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them finds compassion.
