1 To David, wisdom. Happy the taking away of transgression, the covering of sin.
2 Happy the man Jehovah will not reckon sin to him, and no deceit in his spirit
3 If I was silent, my bones fell away in my groaning all the day.
4 For day and night thy hand will be heavy upon me: my moisture was turned into the dryness of summer. Silence.
5 I will make known to thee my sin, and mine iniquity I hid not I said, I will confess upon my transgression to Jehovah; and thou didst take away the iniquity of my sin. Silence.
6 For this all the godly shall pray to thee for the time of finding: only for the inundation of many waters they shall not draw near to him.
7 Thou a covering to me, from straits thou wilt watch me; thou wilt surround me with rejoicings of deliverance. Silence.
