The Joy of Forgiveness
1   Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2   Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3   When I kept silence, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long.
4   For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my strength is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5   I acknowledged my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6   For this shall every one that is godly pray unto  you  in  a  time  when  you  may  be  found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near unto him.
7   You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8   I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.
9   Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which  have  no  understanding:  whose  mouth must  be  held  in  with  bit and bridle, else they come not near unto you.
10   Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts  in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
11  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
