Psa. 321-5 Our God, you bless everyone whose
sins you forgive and wipe away. You bless them by
saying, "You told me your sins, without trying to
hide them, and now I forgive you."

Psa. 321-5 Before I confessed my sins, my bones
felt limp, and I groaned all day long. Night and
day your hand weighed heavily on me, and my
strength was gone as in the summer heat.

Psa. 321-5 So I confessed my sins and told them
all to you. I said, "I'll tell the LORD each one
of my sins." Then you forgave me and took away my
guilt.
