³ For when I kept silent, my ^(E)bones wasted away
    through my ^(F)groaning all day long.
⁴ For day and night your ^(G)hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up^[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah

⁵ I ^(H)acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I ^(I)will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

⁶ Therefore let everyone who is ^(J)godly
    offer prayer to you at a time when you ^(K)may be found;
surely in the rush of ^(L)great waters,
    they shall not reach him.
⁷ You are a ^(M)hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from ^(N)trouble;
    you surround me with ^(O)shouts of deliverance. Selah

⁸ I will ^(P)instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will ^(Q)counsel you with my eye upon you.
^9 (R)Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
    which must be curbed with ^(S)bit and bridle,
    or it will not stay near you.

^10 (T)Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
    but steadfast love surrounds the one who ^(U)trusts in the Lord.
^11 (V)Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
    and ^(W)shout for joy, all you ^(X)upright in heart!
