1 {\b {\i A Psalm} of David.\par\tab Maschil.}\par\par\tab Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,\par\tab Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,\par\tab And in whose spirit there is no guile. 3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away\par\tab Through my groaning all the day long. 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:\par\tab My moisture was changed {\i as} with the drought of summer. {\i Selah\par 5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee,\par\tab And mine iniquity did I not hide:\par\tab I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;\par\tab And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. {\i Selah 6 For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:\par\tab Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. 7 Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;\par\tab Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. {\i Selah 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:\par\tab I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;\par\tab Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,\par\tab {\i Else} they will not come near unto thee. 10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;\par\tab But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. 11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;\par\tab And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.\par |
