1 [Of David. Instruction.] Blessed is he {whose} transgression is forgiven, {whose} sin is covered!

2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!

3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and *thou* forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

7 Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel {thee} with mine eye upon thee.

9 Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

10 Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.

11 Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.

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。
