1 Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.
1 Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
2Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
4For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.
6 For this shall every one that isgodly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
7You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.)
7 Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
9Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...
9 Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
