2. Blessed is the managainst whom the Lord does not count iniquity,and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3. When I kept silent,my bones wasted awaythrough my groaning all day long.
4. For day and nightYour hand was heavy on me;my strength was changedinto the drought of summer. Selah
5. I acknowledged my sin to You,and my iniquity I did not conceal.I said, “I will confessmy transgressions to the Lord,”and You forgavethe iniquity of my sin. Selah
6. For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to Youin a time when You may be found;surely in the floods of great watersthey will not reach him.
7. You are my hiding place;You will preserve me from trouble;You will surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;I will counsel you with my eye on you.
