For I confess my iniquity;I've written before about the fear of God. It's a fear of both respect, and concern. God is the one in charge; we don't have anything we can do to change what He wants to happen. He has everything, we have nothing. But also, we know that, so we don't want to tick Him off. He has the ability to punish us as severely as He sees fit.
I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
Now, we know that He knows everything we do. There's nothing we can hide from Him. Yet, when we admit that we've messed up, we still feel the shame especially strong. It's like when we were kids, and we had to come clean to dad. Mom had already told Him what we did, but we still had to admit it. That shameful, sick-to-your-stomach feeling is likely what David is expressing here.
