¹ BLESSED is he whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is blotted out.² Blessed is the man to whom the LORD has not reckoned his iniquity, and in whose heart there is no guile.³ Because I suffered in silence all the day long, my bones waxed old during my deep slumber.⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; intense pain developed in my heart great enough to kill me.⁵ I have acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid from thee. I said, I will confess my faults to the LORD; and thou forgavest all of my sins.⁶ For this let every one that is chosen pray unto thee at an appointed time; surely even the floods of great waters shall not come near him.

⁷ Thou art my refuge; thou shalt protect me from mine enemies; thou wilt compass me about with glory and salvation.⁸ I have made you to understand and have led you on the way which you shall take; I will follow you with my eyes.⁹ Be not as the horse or as the mule, which have no understanding, which must be subdued with bit and bridle from their youth; no one goes near them.¹⁰ The wicked has many sorrows; but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.¹¹ Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; and praise him, all you that are upright in heart.
