Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is

no guile. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through

my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon

me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my

transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:

surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about

with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the

way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be

held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass

him about. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous:

and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
