For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
If I have covered as Adam my transgressions, To hide in my bosom mine iniquity,
He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For my transgressions I do know, And my sin `is' before me continually.
Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.
