Psalm 32:3-5

Good News Translation

³ When I did not confess my sins,
    I was worn out from crying all day long.
⁴ Day and night you punished me, Lord;
    my strength was completely drained,
    as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.

⁵ Then I confessed my sins to you;
    I did not conceal my wrongdoings.
I decided to confess them to you,
    and you forgave all my sins.
