¹ Happy is he whose transgression is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
² Happy is a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity
and in whose spirit there is not deceit.
³ When I kept silent, my bones were worn out
due to my groaning all the day.
⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy upon me.
My vigor was changed into the dry heat of summer. Selah
⁵ I made known my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not cover.
I said, "I will confess concerning my transgressions to Yahweh,"
and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah
⁶ Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
at the time for finding you.
Surely at the flood of many waters they will not reach him.
⁷ You are my hiding place;
from trouble you preserve me.
With cries of deliverance you surround me. Selah
⁸ I^[b] will instruct you and teach you
in the way that you should go.
I will advise you with my eye upon you.
⁹ Do not be like a horse or like a mule, without understanding;
that needs his tackle—bridle and rein—for restraint
or he would not come near you.
¹⁰ Many are the pains of the wicked,
but for the one who trusts Yahweh
loyal love surrounds him.
¹¹ Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright of heart.
