Tap any verse to comment or suggest a better wording.

¹Of David. A Maskil.
Blessed is the one whose wrongs are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.a ²Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him,
whose spirit does not try to fool anyone. ³When I kept silent,
my bones became weak from my groaning all day long. ⁴For day and night your hand pressed down on me.
My strength dried up like in the summer heat.
Selah ⁵Then I told you about my sin.
I did not hide my wrong.
I said, "I will confess my sins to the LORD."
And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Selah ⁶So let all who are faithful to you pray to you
while you may still be found.
Surely when great floods rise up,
they will not reach them. ⁷You are my hiding place.
You keep me safe from trouble.
You surround me with songs about how you save.
Selah ⁸I will teach you and show you the way you should go.
I will give you advice and watch over you. ⁹Do not be like the horse or the mule.
They do not understand.
They must be controlled with a bit and bridle
to make them come to you. ¹⁰The wicked have many sorrows.
But faithful love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. ¹¹Be glad in the LORD and full of joy, you who do right!
Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are honest!
