1(A
Psalm of
David,
Maschil.)
Blessed is
he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the
man unto
whom the
LORD
imputeth not
iniquity,
and in whose
spirit there
is no
guile.
3When
I kept
silence, my
bones waxed
old through
my roaring
all the day
long.
4For
day and
night thy
hand was
heavy upon
me: my
moisture is
turned into
the drought
of summer.
Selah.
5I
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.
6For
this shall
every one
that is
godly pray
unto thee in
a time when
thou mayest
be found:
surely in
the floods
of great
waters they
shall not
come nigh
unto him.
7Thou art my
hiding
place; thou
shalt
preserve me
from
trouble;
thou shalt
compass me
about with
songs of
deliverance.
Selah.
8I
will
instruct
thee and
teach thee
in the way
which thou
shalt go: I
will guide
thee with
mine eye.
9Be
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.
10Many
sorrows shall
be to
the wicked:
but he that
trusteth in
the LORD,
mercy shall
compass him
about.
11Be
glad in the
LORD, and
rejoice, ye
righteous:
and shout
for joy,
all ye
that are upright
in heart.gcmbc
