^13 (A)He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

³ When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
⁴ For day and night Your ^(A)hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
⁵ I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
^(B)I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
