^1 (a)Blessed is the one whose ^(b)transgression is forgiven,
    whose sin is covered.
² Blessed is the man against whom the Lord ^(c)counts no iniquity,
    and in whose spirit ^(d)there is no deceit.

³ For when I kept silent, my ^(e)bones wasted away
    through my ^(f)groaning all day long.
⁴ For day and night your ^(g)hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up^[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah

⁵ I ^(h)acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, "I ⁽ⁱ⁾will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

⁶ Therefore let everyone who is ^(j)godly
    offer prayer to you at a time when you ^(k)may be found;
surely in the rush of ^(l)great waters,
    they shall not reach him.
⁷ You are a ^(m)hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from ⁽ⁿ⁾trouble;
    you surround me with ^(o)shouts of deliverance. Selah

⁸ I will ^(p)instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will ^(q)counsel you with my eye upon you.
^9 (r)Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
    which must be curbed with ^(s)bit and bridle,
    or it will not stay near you.

^10 (t)Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
    but steadfast love surrounds the one who ^(u)trusts in the Lord.
^11 (v)Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
    and ^(w)shout for joy, all you ^(x)upright in heart!
