2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputes no guilt,in whose spirit is no deceit.
3 Because I kept silent, my bones wasted away;I groaned all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;my strength withered as in dry summer heat.Selah
5 Then I declared my sin to you;my guilt I did not hide.I said, “I confess my transgression to the Lord,”and you took away the guilt of my sin.Selah
6 Therefore every loyal person should pray to youin time of distress.Though flood waters threaten,they will never reach him.
7 You are my shelter; you guard me from distress;with joyful shouts of deliverance you surround me.Selah
8 I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk,give you counsel with my eye upon you.
