{An Instruction of David} Blessed is he, whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sin is covered.

I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will guide thee with mine eye.

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah.

Thou art my defense in the trouble that is come about me; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

For while I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.

Blessed is the man, unto whom the LORD imputeth no sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For this shall every saint make his prayer unto thee in due season; but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him.

Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the LORD; and be joyful, all ye that are true of heart.

Great plagues remain for the ungodly; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD, mercy embraceth him on every side.

Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding, whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, if they will not obey thee.

For thy hand is heavy upon me both day and night, and my moisture is like the drought in Summer. Selah.
