Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.

^1 (C1)How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!

² How blessed is a person whose guilt the LORD ^(C1)does not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is ^(C2)no deceit!

³ When ^(C1)I kept silent about my sin, ^(C2)my ^(F1)body wasted away
Through my ^(F2)(C3)groaning all day long.

⁴ For day and night ^(C1)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My ^(F1)(C2)vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah

⁵ I ^(C1)acknowledged my sin to You,
And I ^(C2)did not hide my guilt;
I said, "^(C3)I will confess my wrongdoings to the LORD";
And You ^(C4)forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

⁶ Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You ^(F1)(C1)in a time when You may be found;
Certainly ^(C2)in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.

⁷ You are ^(C1)my hiding place; You ^(C2)keep me from trouble;
You surround me with ^(F1)(C3)songs of deliverance. Selah

⁸ I will ^(C1)instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you ^(C2)with My eye upon you.

⁹ Do not be ^(C1)like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

¹⁰ The ^(C1)sorrows of the wicked are many,
But ^(C2)the one who trusts in the LORD, goodness will surround him.

¹¹ Be ^(C1)glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are ^(C2)upright in heart.
