¹ A Psalm of David. A Contemplation. Blessed is he whose transgression is lifted, whose sin is covered.² Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not charge iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.³ When I kept silence, then my bones became old, through my howling all day.⁴ For by day and by night Your hand was heavy on me; my sap was turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.⁵ I confessed my sin to You, and I have not hidden my iniquity; I said, I will confess over my transgression to Jehovah; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.⁶ On account of this let every godly one pray to You, at a time of finding; surely, when great floods come they will not reach him.

⁷ You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you, My eye shall be on you.⁹ Be not like the horse, like the mule, with no understanding; with bit and bridle his gear to be held in, that they do not come near you.¹⁰ Many sorrows are to the wicked; but he who trusts in Jehovah, mercy embraces him.¹¹ Be glad in Jehovah and rejoice, you righteous ones ; and all the upright in heart, shout for joy.
