2. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3. Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.
4. For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
5. I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, "I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord," and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
6. For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
