For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture was changed [a]as with the drought of summer. Selah
I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
And mine iniquity did I not hide:
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;

Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

    will not reach them.(J)
