3When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away by my groaning all day long.3For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; my strength was exhausted as in a summer drought. Interlude4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5My sin I acknowledged to you; my iniquity I did not hide. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD." And you forgave the guilt of my sin! Interlude5I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6Therefore every godly person should pray to you at such a time. Surely a flood of great waters will not reach him.6Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.
7You are my hiding place; you will deliver me from trouble and surround me with shouts of deliverance. Interlude7You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8I will instruct you and teach you concerning the path you should walk; I will direct you with my eye.8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9Don't be like a horse or mule, without understanding. They are held in check by a bit and bridle in their mouths; otherwise they will not remain near you.9Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
10The wicked have many sorrows, but gracious love surrounds those who trust in the LORD.10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.
11Righteous ones, be glad in the LORD and rejoice! Shout for joy, all of you who are upright in heart!11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
