I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord" —
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

(Psalm 32:5-7 NIV)
