1A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3When I remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all day long.
4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My strength withered as in summer drought. Selah
