World English Bible Classic
By David. A contemplative psalm.
[1] Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,whose sin is covered.
[2] Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity,
in whose spirit there is no deceit.
[3] When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
[4] For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.
Selah. [5] I acknowledged my sin to you.
I didn’t hide my iniquity.
I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah. [6] For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.
Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
[7] You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah. [8] I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will counsel you with my eye on you.
[9] Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,
who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
[10] Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
[11] Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous!
Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
King James Version
A Psalm of David, H1732 Maschil. H4905 (HiphPtc)
[1] Blessed H835 is he whose transgression H6588 is forgiven, H5375 (QalPasPtc)Whose sin H2401 is covered. H3680 (QalPasPtc)
[2] Blessed H835 is the man H120 unto whom the Lord H3068 imputeth H2803 (QalImpf) not iniquity, H5771
And in whose spirit H7307 there is no guile. H7423
[3] When I kept silence, H2790 (HiphPerf) my bones H6106 waxed old H1086 (QalPerf)
Through my roaring H7581 all the day H3117 long.
[4] For day H3119 and night H3915 thy hand H3027 was heavy H3513 (QalImpf) upon me:
My moisture H3955 is turned H2015 (NiphPerf) into the drought H2725 of summer. H7019 Selah. H5542
[5] I acknowledged H3045 (HiphImpf) my sin H2403 unto thee,
And mine iniquity H5771 have I not hid. H3680 (PielPerf)
I said, H559 (QalPerf) I will confess H3034 (HiphImpf) my transgressions H6588 unto the Lord; H3068
And thou forgavest H5375 (QalPerf) the iniquity H5771 of my sin. H2403 Selah. H5542
[6] For this shall every one that is godly H2623 pray H6419 (HithImpf) unto thee in a time H6256 when thou mayest be found: H4672 (QalInf)§
Surely in the floods H7858 of great H7227 waters H4325 they shall not come nigh H5060 (HiphImpf) unto him.
[7] Thou art my hiding place; H5643 thou shalt preserve H5341 (QalImpf) me from trouble; H6862
Thou shalt compass H5437 (PoelImpf) me about with songs H7438 of deliverance. H6405 Selah. H5542
[8] I will instruct H7919 (HiphImpf) thee and teach H3384 (HiphImpf) thee in the way H1870 which H2098 thou shalt go: H3212 (QalImpf)
I will guide H3289 (QalImpf) thee with mine eye. H5869§
[9] Be ye not as the horse, H5483 or as the mule, H6505 which have no understanding: H995 (HiphInf)
Whose mouth H5716 must be held H1102 (QalInf) in with bit H4964 and bridle, H7448 lest H1077 they come near H7126 (QalInf) unto thee.
[10] Many H7227 sorrows H4341 shall be to the wicked: H7563
But he that trusteth H982 (QalActPtc) in the Lord, H3068 mercy H2617 shall compass H5437 (PoelImpf) him about.
[11] Be glad H8055 (QalImpv) in the Lord, H3068 and rejoice, H1523 (QalImpv) ye righteous: H6662
And shout H7442 (HiphImpv) for joy, all ye that are upright H3477 in heart. H3820
