Blessedness consisteth in remission of sins.

1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David,º Maschil.]]ºª Blessedº [is he whose] transgressionº [is] forgiven,ºª [whose] sinº [is] covered.ºª 2 Blessedº [is] the manº unto whom the LORDº imputethºª not² iniquity,º and in whose spiritº [there is] no² guile.º

Confession of sins giveth ease to the conscience.

3 When² I kept silence,ºª my bonesº waxed oldºª through my roaringº all² the dayº long. 4 For² dayº and nightº thy handº was heavyºª upon² me: my moistureº is turnedºª into the droughtº of summer.º Selah.º 5 I acknowledgedºª my sinº unto thee, and mine iniquityº have I not² hid.ºª I said,ºª I will confessºª my transgressionsº² unto the LORD;º and thou² forgavestºª the iniquityº of my sin.º Selah.º 6 For² this² shall every² one that is godlyº prayºª unto² thee in a timeº when thou mayest be found:ºª surely² in the floodsº of greatº watersº they shall not² come nighºª unto² him. 7 Thou² [art] my hiding place;º thou shalt preserveºª me from trouble;º² thou shalt compass¹ª me about² with songsº of deliverance.º Selah.º
