1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
1A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.
2Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
2Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.
3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.
3Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. [Selah
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. [Selah
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah
5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah
6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
7Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah
7Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
7Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Elsethey will not come near unto thee.
9For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Elsethey will not come near unto thee.
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
10The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
11Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
11But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
11Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
