A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Grēku piedošanas svētība
1 Dāvida dziesma pamācībai.
Svētīts, kam piedoti noziegumi,
kura grēki ir nolīdzināti,
2 svētīts, kam Kungs nepielīdzina vainu,
kura gars ir bez viltus!
3 Kamēr es neatzinos, nīka man kauli –
es brēcu cauru dienu!
4 Jo dienu un nakti tava roka smagi gūlās pār mani,
mans spēks izsīka kā vasaras svelmē!
5 Es atzinos savā grēkā
un neslēpu savu vainu,
es teicu: atzīšos Kungam savos noziegumos!
Tad tu man piedevi mana grēka vainu.
6 Tādēļ lai tevi lūdz visi uzticīgie posta stundā –
kaut milzu ūdeņi veltos, tie viņus neaizsniegs!
7 Tu mani patversi, no spaidiem pasargāsi –
glābiņa gavilēm mani apjozīsi!
8 Es tevi pamācīšu un rādīšu tev ceļu,
es došu padomu – mana acs ir pār tevi!
9 Neesiet kā zirgi, kā zirgēzeļi,
kuriem trūkst saprašanas,
kas ar laužņiem un iemauktiem jāsavalda –
tie tevi neklausīs!
10 Ļaundarim sāpju gana –
bet, kas paļaujas uz Kungu, to apjož žēlastība.
11 Priecājieties Kungā un līksmojiet, taisnie,
un gavilējiet visi, kam skaidra sirds!
