Psalms 38:18

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. The bitterest drop in his cup of suffering is that he feels his suffering is not undeserved; affliction brings to his vivid remembrance sins which he lost sight of in prosperity.
