When I kept ·things to myself [silent],
    ·I felt weak deep inside me [L my bones wasted away].
    I ·moaned [sighed] all day long.
Day and night ·you punished me [L your hand was heavy on me].
    My strength was ·gone [dried up; sapped] as in the summer heat. ·Selah [Interlude]
Then I ·confessed [made known; disclosed] my sins to you
    and didn’t ·hide [cover up] my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my ·sins [transgressions] to the Lord,”
    and you forgave ·my guilt [L the guilt of my sin]. ·Selah [Interlude]

When I kept silent,(A)
    my bones wasted away(B)
    through my groaning(C) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(D) on me;
my strength was sapped(E)
    as in the heat of summer.[a]

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.(F)
I said, “I will confess(G)
    my transgressions(H) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.(I)
