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。
