1. Blessed is the onewhose transgressions are forgiven,whose sins are covered.
2. Blessed is the onewhose sin the Lord does not count against themand in whose spirit is no deceit.
3. When I kept silent,my bones wasted awaythrough my groaning all day long.
4. For day and nightyour hand was heavy on me;my strength was sappedas in the heat of summer.
5. Then I acknowledged my sin to youand did not cover up my iniquity.I said, ‘I will confessmy transgressions to the Lord.’And you forgavethe guilt of my sin.
