3Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.
5I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
6Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
