2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
3Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.
5I acknowledged my sin, and hid not my iniquity: I said, I will confess my iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
6Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.
