3 While I in silence hid my sin, And had not [duly] it confessed, My bones waxed old; and roaring pains [All day] allowed me no rest.
3 While I in silence hid my sin, And had not [duly] it confest, My bones wax'd old; and roaring pains [All day] allowed me no rest.
4 Through painful weary days and nights I bare thy [just and] heavy hand; My strength and moisture are consumed Like [Summers] drought on scorched land.

5 My sin I then acknowledging, With [humbling] grief my self did blame; ⟨p. 48⟩I did confess it all to thee, And did bewail my [guilt and] shame, When my repenting soul resolved All to confess [with grief] to God, Thou mercifully didst forgive, And oft lay by thy [chastening] rod.
