|
|
1 |
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
|
|
|
2 |
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute
iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
|
|
3 |
When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
|
|
4 |
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
|
|
5 |
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
|
|
6 |
For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
|
|
7 |
You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
|
|
8 |
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should
go;
I will guide you with My eye.
|
|
9 |
Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.
|
|
10 |
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
|
|
11 |
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
