2 Happy is the personwhom the Lord does not consider guiltyand in whom 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 night you punished me.My strength was gone as in the summer heat.Selah
5 Then I confessed my sins to youand 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.
7 You are my hiding place.You protect me from my troublesand fill me with songs of salvation.Selah
8 The Lord says, “I will make you wise and show you where to go.I will guide you and watch over you.
