Psalms 32:2-5

²Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are truly blessed by God*!

³When I did not confess my sins, ◄my body/I► was very weak and sick, and I groaned ◄all day long/continually►.

⁴Day and night, Yahweh, you SYN punished me severely. My strength drained away like water that ◄ evaporates/dries up► on a hot summer day.

⁵Then/Finally I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said to myself, “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And when I confessed them, you forgave me, so now I ◄am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished► for my sins.
