By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4
When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.
5
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6
For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
7
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.
