| 1 ¶ A Psalm1 of David, Maschil. 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 silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
|
|
| 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is 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 when2 thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they 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 guide3 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 come near unto thee.
|
|
| 10 Many sorrows shall be to 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.
