The Blessedness of Forgiveness |
| A Psalm of David, Maschil. |
|
| 1 |
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
|
| 2 |
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, Rom. 4.7, 8
| | |
and in whose spirit there is no guile. |
|
|
| 3 |
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old
| | |
through my roaring all the day long. |
|
|
| 4 |
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
| | |
my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. |
|
|
| 5 |
I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
| | |
and mine iniquity have I not hid. |
|
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; |
|
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. 2 Sam. 12.13 Selah. |
|
|
| 6 |
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee
| | |
in a time when thou mayest be found: |
|
surely in the floods of great waters |
|
they shall not come nigh unto him. |
|
|
| 7 |
Thou art my hiding place;
| | |
thou shalt preserve me from trouble; |
|
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. |
|
|
| 8 |
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
| | |
I will guide thee with mine eye. |
|
|
| 9 |
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule,
| | |
which have no understanding: |
|
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, |
|
lest they come near unto thee. |
|
|
| 10 |
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
| | |
but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. |
|
|
| 11 |
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
| | |
and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. |
|
