[1] How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered! [2] How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh will not take into account, And in whose spirit there is no deceit! [3] When I kept silent about my sin, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all day long. [4] For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away as with the heat of summer. Selah. [5] I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not cover up; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh;” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. [6] Therefore, let every holy one pray to You at a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him. [7] You are my hiding place; You guard me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. [8] I will give you insight and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. [9] Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose harness are bit and bridle to control them, Otherwise they will not come near you. [10] Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him. [11] Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
