    You should confess your sin.

    Reasoning from the Text:

    Throughout Psalm 38, David describes the crushing weight of divine
    chastening upon his body, mind, and spirit because of his rebellion
    against God (vv. 1rCo8). His suffering is not meaningless; it is the
    direct consequence of his wrongdoing ("there is no health in my bones
    because of my sin," v. 3). When isolated from friends and pursued by
    enemies (vv. 11rCo12), David reaches the decisive turning point of the
    psalm in verse 18: "For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish
    over my sin." He does not hide, rationalize, or blame others. For the believer, experiencing the heavy conviction of the Holy Spirit must lead
    to full, unreserved confession before God, stepping out of concealment
    and resting in the cleansing that God provides through Christ.

    Our debt to God was nailed to the cross where Christ died for our sins (Colossians 2:14), and God demonstrated this fact by raising Him from

    those who put their faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26) and sparing them from
    future wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). It is a free gift for everyone who believes (Romans 6:23). Trust in the Lord and call on His name to
    receive salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
