1 A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.2 Happy is the man unto whom the LORD counteth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.3 When I kept silence, my bones wore away through my groaning all the day long.4 For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my sap was turned as in the droughts of summer. Selah5 I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD'--and Thou, Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah6 For this let every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach unto him.
