| 1. | {By David. A contemplative psalm.} Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered. |
| 2. | Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn't impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit. |
| 3. | When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. |
| 4. | For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah. |
| 5. | I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. |
| 6. | For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him. |
| 7. | You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. |
| 8. | I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you. |
| 9. | Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you. |
| 10. | Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh. |
| 11. | Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart! |
