3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me.My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you.I didn’t hide my iniquity.I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7 You are my hiding place.You will preserve me from trouble.You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
