1 Blessed is the one whose lawless acts are forgiven. His sins have been taken away.
2 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord never counts against him. He doesn't want to cheat anyone.
3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body became weak because I groaned all day long.
4 Day and night your heavy hand punished me. I became weaker and weaker as I do in the heat of summer. Selah
5 Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn't cover up the wrong I had done. I said, "I will admit my lawless acts to the Lord." And you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
6 Let everyone who is godly pray to you while they can still look to you. When troubles come like a flood, they certainly won't reach those who are godly.
