| Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. | Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven, whose sin is erased. |
| When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. | As long as I remained silent, my body wasted away as the result of my groaning throughout the day. |
|
| I acknowledge 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. Selah. | Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt. I said, “I will confess my offenses to the Lord,” and you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah |
| Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. | You are a place of refuge for me; you preserve me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah |
| I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. | I will instruct you and guide you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and keep my eyes upon you. |
