[{A Psalm} of David, Maschil.] Blessed {is he whose}… [{A Psalm} of David, Maschil] Blessed {is he whose} transgression {is} forgiven, {whose} sin {is} covered. {A Psalm…: or, A Psalm of David giving instruction} 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 acknowledged 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. {when…: Heb. of finding} 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. {guide…: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee} 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.
