Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!
2. Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3. While I held my tongue, my bones withered away, because of my groaning all day long.
4. For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.
Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!
5. Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and did not conceal my guilt.
6. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord." Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.
7. Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach them.
Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!
