A Psalm of David, Maschil

1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.   ROM 4:7

2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.   counts; dishonesty, deceitfulness

3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.   grew; groaning

4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity have I not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6For this shall every one that is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him.

7You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.   surround

8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with My eye.

9Be you^p 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 you.

10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you^p righteous: and shout for joy, all you^p that are upright in heart.
