BSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleNew Living Translation
1Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.1Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
2Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.2Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.3When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.
4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah4Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
5Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah5Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude
6Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.6Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.
7You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah7For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude
8I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.8The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
9Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.9Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.10Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.
11Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.11So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
