OET interlinear PSA 32:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

חַטָּאתִ֨⁠י אוֹדִ֪יעֲ⁠ךָ֡ וַ⁠עֲוֺ֘נִ֤⁠י לֹֽא־כִסִּ֗יתִי

(Some words not found in UHB: sin_of,my I,made_known_to_you and,iniquity_of,my not hide said confess concerning transgressions_of,my to/for=YHWH and=you(ms) forgave guilt_of my_sin_of,my selah )

These two phrases My sin I acknowledged to you and my guilt I did not cover mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [I confessed my sin to you—I did not hide my guilt]

Here David is speaking of sin and guilt as if they were something that could be covered. He means that he did not try to hide his sin from God. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and my guilt I did not refuse to confess]
