whose sins are covered. - When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.

you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. - For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does. - The Lord loves righteousness and justice;

their starry host by the breath of his mouth. - Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance. - But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. - May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. - I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears. - This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles. - Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. - The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. - Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. - Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. - The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry. - But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
