For day and night (A)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My [a](B)vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
I (C)acknowledged my sin to You,
And I (D)did not hide my guilt;
I said, “(E)I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord”;
And You (F)forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [b](G)in a time when You may be found;
Certainly (H)in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.

  2. Psalm 32:6 Lit in a time of finding out

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)
