Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me, cases or varieties of iniquity have overcome him as with a superior hostile power. As for our transgressions, the great burden of which belongs to the crosses of the believers, Thou shalt purge them away, freeing them from their burden and atoning for their guilt. It is here once more clearly stated that man cannot answer or atone for his sins; he must, in himself, perish under their burden; the forgiveness of God alone can lift the burden.
