1. A Psalm of David H1732 , Maschil H4905 . Blessed H835 is he whose transgression H6588 is forgiven H5375 , whose sin H2401 is covered H3680 .

|
2. Blessed H835 is the man H120 unto whom the LORD H3068 imputeth H2803 not H3808 iniquity H5771 , and in whose spirit H7307 there is no H369 guile H7423 .
|

4. For day and night you tormented me; you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer. (Selah)
|
4. For H3588 day H3119 and night H3915 thy hand H3027 was heavy H3513 upon H5921 me : my moisture H3955 is turned H2015 into the drought H2725 of summer H7019 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
5. Then I confessed my sin; I no longer covered up my wrongdoing. I said, "I will confess my rebellious acts to the LORD." And then you forgave my sins. (Selah)

|
6. For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them.

6. For H5921 this H2063 shall every H3605 one that is godly H2623 pray H6419 unto H413 thee in a time H6256 when thou mayest be found H4672 : surely H7535 in the floods H7858 of great H7227 waters H4325 they shall not H3808 come nigh H5060 unto H413 him.

|
7. You are my hiding place; you protect me from distress. You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance. (Selah)
|
7. Thou H859 art my hiding place H5643 ; thou shalt preserve H5341 me from trouble H4480 H6862 ; thou shalt compass me about H5437 with songs H7438 of deliverance H6405 . Selah H5542 .
|
|

|
|
9. Do not be like an unintelligent horse or mule, which will not obey you unless they are controlled by a bridle and bit.
|
9. Be H1961 ye not H408 as the horse H5483 , or as the mule H6505 , which have no H369 understanding H995 : whose mouth H5716 must be held in H1102 with bit H4964 and bridle H7448 , lest H1077 they come near H7126 unto thee H413 .
|
|
10. An evil person suffers much pain, but the LORD's faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

|
|
11. Rejoice in the LORD and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!
|
11. Be glad H8055 in the LORD H3068 , and rejoice H1523 , ye righteous H6662 : and shout for joy H7442 , all H3605 ye that are upright H3477 in heart H3820 .
