3. When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.
4. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
5. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt, I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude
