¹An Instructive Psalm of David.

And in whose spirit is no deceit.

³When I was silent,

My bones wasted away

– When I roared all day long.

⁴Because day and night your hand was heavy on me,

My moisture turned into summer drought.

Selah.

⁵I acknowledge my sin to you,

And I do not hide my iniquity.

I have said,

“I will make confession concerning my transgression to the Lord”,

And you have forgiven the iniquity of my sin.

Selah.

⁶On account of this, every man of grace will pray to you

At a time when you may be found.

Surely in the flood of great waters,

They will not be able to reach him.

⁷You are my hiding place.

You keep me from adversity;

You surround me with shouts of deliverance.

Selah.

⁸“I will instruct you,

And I will teach you the way by which you will go.

I will counsel you with my eye.

⁹Do not be like the horse or like the mule,

Which cannot be made to understand,

With a bit and bridle as their trappings to control them,

Otherwise they will not come close to you.”

¹⁰The wicked will have many pains,

But as for him who trusts in the Lord,

Kindness will surround him.

¹¹Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,

You righteous,

And shout for joy,

All you upright in heart.
