Psalm 32:4-6
The Message
4 The pressure never let up;
all the juices of my life dried up.
5 Then I let it all out;
I said, “I’ll come clean about my failures to God.”
Suddenly the pressure was gone—
my guilt dissolved,
my sin disappeared.
6 These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray;
when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts
we’ll be on high ground, untouched.
Psalm 32:4-6
New International Version
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy(A) on me;
my strength was sapped(B)
as in the heat of summer.[a]
