Psalms 31:1-6

¹To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

²Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

³Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.

⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.

⁵I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.

⁶For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
