1 A Psalm of David. A Contemplation. Blessed [is] the man whose transgression [is] forgiven, whose sin [is] covered.
2 Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD does not charge iniquity, and in whose spirit there [is] no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For by day and by night Your hand [was] heavy on me; my sap is turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.
5 I confessed my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgression to the LORD; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this let every godly one pray to You, in a time when You may be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near him.
