1 Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is pardoned.
2 Blessed is the person whom Jehovah no longer accuses of sin and who has no deceitful thoughts.
3 When I kept silent about my sins, my body wasted away and I groaned all day long.
4 Day and night your hand lay heavily on me. My strength drained in the summer heat.
5 I confessed my sins to you, and I did not cover up my guilt. I decided to confess them to you, O Jehovah. Then you forgave all my sins.
6 For this reason let all godly people pray to you when you may be found. Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
