| 1 | {Of David. Instruction.} Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered! |
| 2 | Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile! |
| 3 | When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long. |
| 4 | For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 7 | Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah. |
| 8 | I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee. |
| 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. |
| 10 | Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him. |
| 11 | Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart. |
