Psalms

Psalm 32:5–6

⁵Then I acknowledged my sin to You

and did not hide my iniquity.

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”

and You forgave the guilt of my sin.

Selah

⁶Therefore let all the godly pray to You

while You may be found.

Surely when great waters rise,

they will not come near.
