2Some people have done badly, but they told God they were sorry, they did not try to deceive him, and he did not growl at them. Now they are very happy.
3Previously I did badly and I did not tell God about it. Because of that I kept on crying all day long, I was exhausted by the crying.
4Day by day, night by night, you made it hard for me, Lord. I was weakened completely. In the summer the sun pierces the water and dries it up. In that same way you growled at me, Lord, and I became very weak and thin, I nearly died.
5Then I told you true, like that I had done badly. I did not try to hide from you, I decided I would tell you the whole story, I told you I was ashamed of myself. Because of that you let me off completely.
