1 | <<[A Psalm] of David, Maschil.>> Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered. |
2 | Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile. |
3 | When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. |
4 | For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. |
5 | I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. |
6 | For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. |
7 | Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. |
8 | I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. |
9 | Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. |
10 | Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. |
11 | Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart. |
