Psalm

²Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. ³When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. ⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. ⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. ⁶For 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 shall not reach unto him. ⁷Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. ⁸I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
