1 Blessed are those (LXX/NT) whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man to whom LORD does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to LORD, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.
