Psalm 32:1-5 

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.

¹ Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
² Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.

³ When I kept silent,
    my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
⁴ For day and night
    your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
    as in the heat of summer.

⁵ Then 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.

Ephesians 1:7 

New International Version (NIV)

⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Forgive me, Lord, for I have sinned.

Help me to accept responsibility for what I have done.

Help me to repent, ask your forgiveness, and live faithfully for you.  Amen
