[1]A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.[2]Happy is the man unto whom 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 counteth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.[3]When I kept silence, my bones wore away through my groaning all the day long.[4]For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my sap was turned as in the droughts of summer. Selah[5]Acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇'—and Thou, 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 will not reach unto him.[7]Thou art my hiding-place; Thou w preserve me from the adversary; with songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. Selah[8]'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon 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, that they come not near unto thee.[10]Many are the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, mercy compasseth him about.[11]Be glad in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and rejoice, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
