1 The one whose wrongdoing is forgiven,whose sin is covered over, is truly happy!
2 The one the Lord doesn’t consider guilty—in whose spirit there is no dishonesty—that one is truly happy!
3 When I kept quiet, my bones wore out;I was groaning all day long—every day, every night!—
4 because your hand was heavy upon me.My energy was sapped as if in a summer drought. Selah
5 So I admitted my sin to you;I didn’t conceal my guilt."I’ll confess my sins to the Lord, " is what I said.Then you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah
6 That’s why all the faithful should pray to you during troubled times,so that a great flood of water won’t reach them.
