Blessed is he

Whose transgressions are forgiven,

Whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man

Whose sins against the Lord does not count

Against him

And in whose spirit is no deceit.

When I kept silent,

My bones wasted away

Through my groaning all day long.

For day and night

Your hand was heavy upon me;

My strength was sapped

As in the heat of summer.  (Selah)

Then I acknowledged my sin to you

And did not cover up my iniquity.

I said "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord"

And you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)

 

Therefore let everyone who is Godly pray to you

While you may be found;

Surely when the mighty waters rise,

They will not reach him.

You are my hiding place;

You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance (Selah)

I will instruct you and teach you 

In the way you should go;

I will counsel you and watch over you.

Do not be like the horse or the mule,

Which have no understanding

But must be controlled by bit and bridle

Or they will not come to you.

Many are the woes of the wicked,

But the Lord's unfailing love 

Surrounds the man that trusts in him.

 

Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you Righteous;

Sing, all you who are upright in heart
