1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is lifted away, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not reckon iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I was silent, my bones wore away with my groaning all the day.
4 For by day and by night your hand weighed heavy on me; my vitality was turned into the dry heat of summer. Selah.
5 My sin I made known to you, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you lifted away the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this let every godly one pray to you at a time of finding; surely, in the flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
7 You are my hiding place; you guard me from distress; with shouts of deliverance you surround me. Selah.
8 I will give you insight and teach you in the way you are to go; I will counsel you, my eye upon you.
9 Do not be like a horse, like a mule, without understanding, whose gear of bit and bridle is for holding them in, or they will not come near you.
10 Many pains belong to the wicked, but the one who trusts in the LORD, steadfast love surrounds him.
11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; shout for joy, all who are upright in heart.
