[1] 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 silent, my bones waxed old through my groaning all the day long. [4] For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; the sap of my soul was 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 the floods of great waters 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 not come near unto thee." [10] Many shall be the sorrows of 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!
