A Psalm of David. A Possibly Contemplative, or Didactic, or Skillful PsalmMaskil.
11How blessedH835 is he whose transgressionH6588 is forgivenH5375, Whose sinH2401 is coveredH3680!2How blessedH835 is the manH120 to whom the LordH3068 2does not imputeH2803 iniquityH5771, And in whose spiritH7307 thereH369 is 3noH369 deceitH7423!
3WhenH3588 4I keptH2790 silentH2790 about my sin, 5my 6bodyH6106 wastedH1086 awayH1086 Through my 78groaningH7581 allH3605 dayH3117 long.4For dayH3119 and nightH3915 9Your handH3027 was heavyH3513 upon me; My 1011vitalityH3955 was drainedH2015 away as with the feverH2725 heatH2725 of summerH7019. 12SelahH5542.5I 13acknowledgedH3045 my sinH2403 to You, And my iniquityH5771 I 14did not hideH3680; I saidH559, “15I will confessH3034 my transgressionsH6588 to the LordH3068”; And You 16forgaveH5375 the 17guiltH5771 of my sinH2403. SelahH5542.6ThereforeH5921H2088, let everyoneH3605 who is godlyH2623 prayH6419 to You 1819in a timeH6256 when You may be foundH4672; SurelyH7534 20in a floodH7858 of greatH7227 watersH4325 they will not reachH5060 him.7You are 21my hidingH5643 placeH5643; You 22preserveH5341 me from troubleH6862; You surroundH5437 me with 2324songsH7438 of deliveranceH6405. SelahH5542.
8I will 25instructH7919 you and teachH3384 you in the wayH1870 whichH2098 you should goH1980; I will counselH3289 you 26with My eyeH5869 upon you.9Do not be 27as the horseH5483 or as the muleH6505 which haveH369 noH369 understandingH995, Whose trappingsH5716 include bitH4964 and bridleH7448 to holdH1102 them in checkH1102, Otherwise they will not comeH7126 nearH7126 to you.10ManyH7227 are the 28sorrowsH4341 of the wickedH7563, But 29he who trustsH982 in the LordH3068, lovingkindnessH2617 shall surroundH5437 him.11Be 30gladH8055 in the LordH3068 and rejoiceH1523, you righteousH6662 onesH6662; And shoutH7442 for joyH7442, allH3605 you who are 31uprightH3477 in heartH3820.
