3. When I did not confess my sins,I was worn out from crying all day long.
4. Day and night you punished me, Lord;my strength was completely drained,as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
5. Then I confessed my sins to you;I did not conceal my wrongdoings.I decided to confess them to you,and you forgave all my sins.
6. So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need;when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in,it will not reach them.
