321 How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven , Whose sin is covered ! 2 How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity , And in whose spirit there is no deceit ! 3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer . Selah . 5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide ; I said , " I will confess my transgressions to the Lord "; And You forgave the guilt of my sin . Selah . 6 Therefore e , let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found ; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
7 You are my hiding place ; You preserve me from trouble ; You surround me with songs of deliverance . Selah . 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go ; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 9 Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding , Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check , Otherwise they will not come near to you. 10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked , But he who trusts in the Lord , lovingkindness shall surround him. 11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice , you righteous ones ; And shout for joy , all you who are upright in heart .
511 Be gracious to me, O God , according to Your lovingkindness ; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions . 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin . 3 For I know my transgressions , And my sin is ever before me. 4 Against You, You only , I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight , So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge . 5 Behold , I was brought forth in iniquity , And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold , You desire truth in the innermost being , And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom .
7 Purify me with hyssop , and I shall be clean ; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow . 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness , Let the bones which You have broken rejoice . 9 Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities . 10 Create in me a clean heart , O God , And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit . 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways , And sinners will be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness , O God , the God of my salvation ; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness . 15 O Lord , open my lips , That my mouth may declare Your praise . 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice , otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering . 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit ; A broken and a contrite heart , O God , You will not despise . 18 By Your favor do good to Zion ; Build the walls of Jerusalem . 19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices , In burnt offering and whole burnt offering ; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar .
861 Incline Your ear , O Lord , and answer me; For I am afflicted and needy . 2 Preserve my soul , for I am a godly man ; O You my God , save Your servant who trusts in You. 3 Be gracious to me, O Lord , For to You I cry all day long. 4 Make glad the soul of Your servant , For to You, O Lord , I lift up my soul . 5 For You, Lord , are good , and ready to forgive , And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. 6 Give ear , O Lord , to my prayer ; And give heed to the voice of my supplications ! 7 In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, For You will answer me.
8 There is no one like You among the gods , O Lord , Nor are there any works like Yours. 9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord , And they shall glorify Your name . 10 For You are great and do wondrous deeds ; You alone are God . 11 Teach me Your way , O Lord ; I will walk in Your truth ; Unite my heart to fear Your name . 12 I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God , with all my heart , And will glorify Your name forever . 13 For Your lovingkindness toward me is great , And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol . 14 O God , arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of violent men have sought my life , And they have not set You before them. 15 But You, O Lord , are a God merciful and gracious , Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth . 16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Oh grant Your strength to Your servant , And save the son of Your handmaid . 17 Show me a sign for good , That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed , Because You, O Lord , have helped me and comforted me.
1221 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord ." 2 Our feet are standing Within your gates , O Jerusalem , 3 Jerusalem , that is built As a city that is compact together ; 4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord - An ordinance for Israel - To give thanks to the name of the Lord . 5 For there thrones were set for judgment , The thrones of the house of David .
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : "May they prosper who love you. 7 "May peace be within your walls , And prosperity within your palaces ." 8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends , I will now say , " May peace be within you." 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God , I will seek your good .
