Only Version ❧ CM/CMD · 8·6·8·6 (D)
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1 O blessed is the man who hath his trespass pardoned, and he whose aberration is wholly covered. 2 O blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputes not sin: and he who such a spirit hath that guile is not therein.
3 When I kept silence then my bones, began to wear away, with age; by means of my roaring continuing all th’ day. 4 For day and night thy hand on me, heavily did endure: into the drought of summer time turned is my moisture. Selah.
5 Mine aberration unto thee I have acknowledged, and mine iniquity I have not closely covered: against myself my sin, said I, I will to God confess, and thou didst the iniquity forgive of my trespass. Selah.
6 For this each godly one to thee in finding time shall pray: surely in floods of waters great, come nigh him shall not they. 7 Thou art my hiding place, thou shalt from trouble save me out: thou with songs of deliverance shalt compass me about. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee, also teach thee in the way will I which thou shalt go: I will to thee give counsel with mine eye. 9 Like to the horse and mule, which have no knowledge be not ye: whose mouths are held with bridle bit, that come not near to thee.
10 To those men that ungodly are, their sorrows do abound: but him that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass round. 11 Be in Jehovah joyful ye, ye righteous ones rejoice; and all that are upright in heart shout ye with joyful voice.
