King James BibleHolman Christian Standard Bible
1A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.1Davidic. A Maskil. How joyful is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!
2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.2How joyful is the man the LORD does not charge with sin and in whose spirit is no deceit!
3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.3When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.4For day and night Your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer's heat. Selah
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.5Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not conceal my iniquity. I said," I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and You took away the guilt of my sin. Selah
6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.6Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You at a time that You may be found. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him.
7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.7You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance. Selah
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.8I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with My eye on you, I will give counsel.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.9Do not be like a horse or mule, without understanding, that must be controlled with bit and bridle or else it will not come near you.
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.10Many pains come to the wicked, but the one who trusts in the LORD will have faithful love surrounding him.
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.11Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
