1 Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity,

in whose spirit there is no deceit.

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

4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me.

My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledged my sin to you.

I didn’t hide my iniquity.

I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,

and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.

Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

7 You are my hiding place.

You will preserve me from trouble.

You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.

I will counsel you with my eye on you.

9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,

who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

10 Many sorrows come to the wicked,

but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.

11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous!

Shout for joy, all you who are 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。
