1 Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.
1Blessed 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.
2Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
2Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord 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.
3When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.
3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
3Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
4For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
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.)
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
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.
6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
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.)
7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt 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.
8I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
9Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
9For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
10The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy 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.
11Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.
11Be glad in the Lord, 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.
