1[A Psalm] of David. Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2Blessed is [the] man to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. 3When I kept silent, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. 4For day and night your hand was heavy on me: My moisture was changed in the drought of summer. Selah. 5I acknowledged my sin to you, And my iniquity I did not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh; And you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6For this let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they will not reach to him. 7You are my hiding-place; you will preserve me from trouble; You will circle me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. 8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you will go: I will counsel you with my eye on you. 9Don't be{+} 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 to you. 10Many sorrows will be to the wicked; But he who trusts in Yahweh, loving-kindness will circle him about. 11Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you{+} righteous; And shout for joy, all you{+} who are upright in heart.
