¹ A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem. BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is he who has forgiveness of his transgression continually exercised upon him, whose sin is covered. ² Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit. ³ When I kept silence , my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long. ⁴ For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah ! ⁵ I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord --then You forgave me the guilt and iniquity of my sin. Selah ! ⁶ For this let everyone who is godly pray--pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach him. ⁷ You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah ! ⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. ⁹ Be not like the horse or the mule, which lack understanding, which must have their mouths held firm with bit and bridle, or else they will not come with you. ¹⁰ Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on the Lord shall be compassed about with mercy and with loving-kindness. ¹¹ Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ; shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
