³ When ^(D)I kept silent about my sin, ^(E)my ^[b]body wasted away
Through my ^[c](F)groaning all day long.
⁴ For day and night ^(G)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My ^[d](H)vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. ^[e]Selah.
⁵ I ^(I)acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I ^(J)did not hide;
I said, “^(K)I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You ^(L)forgave the ^[f]guilt of my sin. Selah.
⁶ Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You ^[g](M)in a time when You may be found;
Surely ^(N)in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
⁷ You are ^(O)my hiding place; You ^(P)preserve me from trouble;
You surround me with ^[h](Q)songs of deliverance. Selah.

⁸ I will ^(R)instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you ^(S)with My eye upon you.
⁹ Do not be ^(T)as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
¹⁰ Many are the ^(U)sorrows of the wicked,
But ^(V)he who trusts in the Lord, lovingkindness shall surround him.
¹¹ Be ^(W)glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are ^(X)upright in heart.
