1 A Psalm of David. A Maskil.
2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
3 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
4 When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
5 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. [Selah]
6 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. [Selah]
