Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! | Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven, whose sin is erased. |
When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. | As long as I remained silent, my body wasted away as the result of my groaning throughout the day. |
|
Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. | 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 |
For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. | You are a place of refuge for me; you preserve me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah |
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” | I will instruct you and guide you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and keep my eyes upon you. |
