Day and night ·you punished me [L your hand was heavy on me].
    My strength was ·gone [dried up; sapped] as in the summer heat. ·Selah [Interlude]
Then I ·confessed [made known; disclosed] my sins to you
    and didn’t ·hide [cover up] my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my ·sins [transgressions] to the Lord,”
    and you forgave ·my guilt [L the guilt of my sin]. ·Selah [Interlude]

For this reason, all ·who obey you [your saints/holy ones]
    should pray to you while ·they still can [or you may be found; L at a time of finding only; Prov. 1:24–27].
When troubles rise like a flood,
    they will not reach them.

For day and night
    your hand was heavy(A) on me;
my strength was sapped(B)
    as in the heat of summer.[a]

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.(C)
I said, “I will confess(D)
    my transgressions(E) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.(F)

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;(G)
surely the rising(H) of the mighty waters(I)
    will not reach them.(J)
