By David.
A contemplative psalm.
Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.
Selah.
I acknowledged my sin to you.
I didn’t hide my iniquity.
I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah.
