³ When I kept silent, my bones became brittle
from my groaning all day long.^(C1)4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me;^(C1)
my strength was drained^(F1)
as in the summer’s heat.^(C2)Selah⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.^(C1)Selah

⁶ Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to you immediately.^(F1)(C1)
When great floodwaters come,
they will not reach him.^(C2)7 You are my hiding place;^(C1)
you protect me from trouble.^(C2)
You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance.Selah

⁸ I will instruct you and show you the way to go;^(C1)
with my eye on you, I will give counsel.^(C2)9 Do not be like a horse or mule,
without understanding,
that must be controlled with bit and bridle
or else it will not come near you.^(C1)

¹⁰ Many pains come to the wicked,^(C1)
but the one who trusts in the Lord
will have faithful love surrounding him.^(C2)11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
you righteous ones;
shout for joy,
all you upright in heart.^(C1)
