5  I ^qacknowledged my sin to you,

and I did not cover my iniquity;

I said, “I ^rwill confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

3  ^bFor I know my transgressions,

and my sin is ever before me.

13  Whoever ^xconceals his transgressions will not prosper,

but he who ^yconfesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
