Psalm 32:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ When I kept silent about my sin,
    my body became weak
    because I groaned all day long.
⁴ Day and night
    you punished me.
I became weaker and weaker
    as I do in the heat of summer.
⁵ Then I admitted my sin to you.
    I didn’t cover up the wrong I had done.
I said, “I will admit my lawless acts to the Lord.”
    And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
