1 Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.(A) 2 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them(B) and in whose spirit is no deceit.(C)
3 When I kept silent,(D) my bones wasted away(E) through my groaning(F) all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy(G) on me; my strength was sapped(H) as in the heat of summer.[b]
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.(I) I said, “I will confess(J) my transgressions(K) to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.(L)
