⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.^(A)
I said, “I will confess^(B)
    my transgressions^(C) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.^(D)

¹³ Whoever conceals their sins^(A) does not prosper,
    but the one who confesses^(B) and renounces them finds mercy.^(C)

³ For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is always before me.^(C)
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned^(D)
    and done what is evil in your sight;^(E)
so you are right in your verdict
    and justified when you judge.^(F)
5 Surely I was sinful^(G) at birth,^(H)
    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
