3 I acknowledged my sin unto | Thee || and mine iniquity have I not hid.

4 I said, I will confess my transgressions un to the Lord || and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.

5 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found || surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come | nigh⚫ unto him.

6 Thou art my hiding-place; Thou shalt pre serve me from trouble || Thou shalt compass me about with songs of de liverance.

7 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked [ but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall com pass him about.

8 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice ye | righteous and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
