ASV(i)
1 [A Psalm] of David.
Maschil.
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no guile. 3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long. 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. [Selah
5 I 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 6 For 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. 7 Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;
Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;
Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,
[Else] they will not come near unto thee. 10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. 11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;
And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
