1 Happy is the personwhose sins are forgiven,whose wrongs are pardoned.
2 Happy is the personwhom the Lord does not consider guilty.In that person there is nothing false.
3 When I kept things to myself,I felt weak deep inside me.I moaned all day long.
4 Day and nightyou punished me.My strength was goneas in the summer heat. Selah
5 Then I confessed my sins to you.I didn’t hide my guilt.I said, “I will confess my sins to the Lord.”And you forgave my guilt. Selah
6 For this reason, all who obey youshould pray to you while they still can.When troubles rise like a flood,they will not reach them.
