For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;(A)
my strength was drained[a]
as in the summer’s heat.(B)Selah
Then I acknowledged my sin to You
and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said,
“I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and You took away the guilt of my sin.(C)Selah

Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You
at a time that You may be found.[b](D)
When great floodwaters come,
they will not reach him.(E)

For day and night

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)
