Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
4
For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
5
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him.
6
Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.
