1Blessed 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 acknowledge 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.
