1 A psalm of David. Oh, what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
|
1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
|
|
2 Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
|
2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.
|
|
3 When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long.
|
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
|
|
4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
|
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. "Selah"
