    “You told me your sins,
without trying to hide them,
    and now I forgive you.”

    weighed heavily on me,
and my strength was gone
    as in the summer heat.

Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them(A)
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.(B)

    through my groaning(E) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(F) on me;
my strength was sapped(G)
    as in the heat of summer.[a]
