| Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! | Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. |
| When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. | When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. |
|
| 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 did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. |
| For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. | You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. |
| 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 teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. |
