| Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God |
| A Psalm of David. Maschil. |
| [1] | BLESSED is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. |
| [2] | Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. |
| [3] | When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning 1 all the day long. |
| [4] | For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed as 2 with the drought of summer. [Selah |
| [5] | I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah |
| [6] | For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in 3 a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. |
| [7] | Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt 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 counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. |
| [9] | Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Else 4 they will not come near unto thee. |
| [10] | Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. |
| [11] | Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. |
