1
2Blessed is the man unto whom Yahweh imputeth not iniquity,
3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
7Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
11Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
