Read Psalm 32:5 in the NABRE onlineI have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the impiety of my sin.
Reflection
David tried to hide his sin and his body wasted away. The turning point was confession: I will confess my transgressions to the Lord — and you forgave the guilt of my sin. The relief came after the honesty, not before it.
