| | 1 | A Psalm of David. A Contemplation. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. | |
| | 2 | Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. | |
| | 3 | When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long. | |
| | 4 | For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah | |
| | 5 | I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah | |
| | 6 | For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him. | |
| | 7 | You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah | |
| | 8 | I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. | |
| | 9 | Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you. | |
| | 10 | Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him. | |
| | 11 | Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart! | |
