2 Yes, what joy for those
whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,[a]
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

and I groaned all day long.

My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
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

that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.

He stood on the platform, and then he knelt in front of the entire community of Israel and lifted his hands toward heaven.
