1A Psalme of David to give instruction. Blessed is he whose wickednes is forgiuen, and whose sinne is couered.
2Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquitie, and in whose spirite there is no guile.
3When I helde my tongue, my bones consumed, or when I roared all the day,
4(For thine hand is heauie vpon me, day and night: and my moysture is turned into ye drought of summer. Selah)
5Then I acknowledged my sinne vnto thee, neither hid I mine iniquitie: for I thought, I will confesse against my selfe my wickednesse vnto the Lord, and thou forgauest the punishment of my sinne. Selah.
