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 failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
⁵ I ^(I)acknowledged my sin to You,
And I ^(J)did not hide my guilt;
I said, “^(K)I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord”;
And You ^(L)forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
⁶ Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You ^[e](M)in a time when You may be found;
Certainly ^(N)in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
⁷ You are ^(O)my hiding place; You ^(P)keep me from trouble;
You surround me with ^[f](Q)songs of deliverance. Selah

⁸ I will ^(R)instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you ^(S)with My eye upon you.
⁹ Do not be ^(T)like the horse or like 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 The ^(U)sorrows of the wicked are many,
But ^(V)the one who trusts in the Lord, goodness will 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.
