Blessed Is He

Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man
whose sin the Lord does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night
Your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.  Selah.

Then I acknowledged my sin to You
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess my transgression to the Lord" --
and You forgave the guilt of my sin.  Selah.

(Psalm 32:1-5)
