^{3 Ref} When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

^{4 Ref} For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed `as' with the drought of summer. Selah

^{5 Ref} I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

^{6 Ref} For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

^{7 Ref} Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah
