Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil1 of David.
1jBlessed is the one whose ktransgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man against whom the Lord lcounts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit mthere is no deceit.
3For when I kept silent, my nbones wasted away
through my ogroaning all day long.
4For day and night your phand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up2 as by the heat of summer. Selah
5I qacknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I rwill confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6Therefore let everyone who is sgodly
offer prayer to you at a time when you tmay be found;
surely in the rush of ugreat waters,
they shall not reach him.
7You are a vhiding place for me;
you preserve me from wtrouble;
you surround me with xshouts of deliverance. Selah
8I will yinstruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will zcounsel you with my eye upon you.
9aBe not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with bbit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.
10cMany are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who dtrusts in the Lord.
11eBe glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
