| [1]A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. |
[1]By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered. |
| [2]Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. |
[2]O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. |
| [3]When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring all the day long. |
[3]When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day. |
| [4]For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drouth of summer. Selah. |
[4]When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah. |
| [5]I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. |
[5]My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah. |
| [6]For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to him. |
[6]For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not. |
| [7]Thou art my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. |
[7]Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah. |
| [8]I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye. |
[8]I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee. |
| [9]Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee. |
[9]Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee. |
| [10]Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him. |
[10]Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him. |
| [11]Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. |
[11]Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart! |
