Psalm 38:17-18

For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

for I am about to fall 
Psalm 37:23-24  The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

and my pain is ever with me 
Psalm 38:7  My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
Job 6:10  "Then I would still have this consolation--my joy in unrelenting pain--that I had not denied the words of the Holy One."

I confess my iniquity 
Leviticus 26:40-42  " 'But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors--their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies--then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin, I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.' "

I am troubled by my sin 
Psalm 38:3-4  Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
