1  ^jBlessed is the one whose ^ktransgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

2  Blessed is the man against whom the Lord ^lcounts no iniquity,

and in whose spirit ^mthere is no deceit.

3  For when I kept silent, my ⁿbones wasted away

through my ^ogroaning all day long.

4  For day and night your ^phand was heavy upon me;

my strength was dried up¹ as by the heat of summer. Selah

5  I ^qacknowledged my sin to you,

and I did not cover my iniquity;

I said, “I ^rwill confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

6  Therefore let everyone who is ^sgodly

offer prayer to you at a time when you ^tmay be found;

surely in the rush of ^ugreat waters,

they shall not reach him.

7  You are a ^vhiding place for me;

you preserve me from ^wtrouble;

you surround me with ^xshouts of deliverance. Selah
