1 Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.2 Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.3 When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.4 For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)5 I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)6 For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.7 You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.)8 I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.9 Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...10 The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.11 Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.

1 过犯得蒙赦免， 罪恶得到遮盖的人， 是有福的。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题） 2 心里没有诡诈， 耶和华不算为有罪的， 这人是有福的。 3 我闭口不认罪的时候， 就整天唉哼， 以致骨头衰残。 4 因为你的手昼夜重压在我身上， 我的精力耗尽， 好像盛暑的干旱。（细拉） 5 我向你承认我的罪， 没有隐藏我的罪孽； 我说： "我要向耶和华承认我的过犯"； 你就赦免我的罪孽。（细拉） 6 因此， 凡是敬虔的人， 都当趁你可寻找的时候， 向你祷告； 大水泛滥的时候， 必不能达到他那里。 7 你是我藏身之处， 你必保护我脱离患难， 以得救的欢呼四面环绕我。（细拉） 8 我要教导你， 指示你应走的路； 我要劝戒你， 我的眼睛看顾你。 9 你不可像无知的骡马， 如果不用嚼环辔头勒住它们， 它们就不肯走近。 10 恶人必受许多痛苦； 但倚靠耶和华的， 必有慈爱四面环绕他。 11 义人哪！ 你们要靠着耶和华欢喜快乐； 所有心里正直的人哪！ 你们都要欢呼。
