Psalms 32:6

PrayerRepentance

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

8 I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
