1 Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered! VP
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile! VP
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long. VP
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah. VP
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. VP
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him. VP
7 Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah. VP
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee. VP
9 Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee. VP
10 Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him. VP
11 Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart. VP
