1 Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
1
By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.
2
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
3
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
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 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.
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 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.
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 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
7
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
8
I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.
9
Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.
10
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!
11
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
