1 Our God, you bless everyonewhose sins you forgiveand wipe away.
2 You bless them by saying,“You told me your sins,without trying to hide them,and now I forgive you.”
3 Before I confessed my sins,my bones felt limp,and I groaned all day long.
4 Night and day your handweighed heavily on me,and my strength was goneas in the summer heat.
5 So I confessed my sinsand told them all to you.I said, “I'll tell the Lordeach one of my sins.”Then you forgave meand took away my guilt.
