1 Blessed is he whose atransgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord bdoes not 2impute iniquity,

And cin whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old

Through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night Your dhand was heavy upon me;

My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.

Selah

5 I acknowledged my sin to You,

And my iniquity I have not hidden.

eI said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Selah

6 fFor this cause everyone who is godly shall gpray to You

In a time when You may be found;

Surely in a flood of great waters

They shall not come near him.

7 hYou are my hiding place;

You shall preserve me from trouble;

You shall surround me with isongs of deliverance.

Selah

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will guide you with My eye.
