  yog cov uas tus TSWV tsis suav hais tias

  kuv tsis zais tej uas kuv ua txhaum ib qho li,
  kuv lees kuv tej kev txhaum huv tibsi rau koj,
  thiab koj zam tagnrho kuv tej kev
   txhaum huv tibsi mus.

  6Yog li ntawd, thov cia cov neeg uas
   hwm koj

  thaum muaj kev txomnyem huam tuaj,
   tej ntawd yuav los tsis txog lawv.
  7Koj yog kuv lub chaw nkaum,
  koj yuav cawm kuv kom dim ntawm txojkev puastsuaj.
  Kuv yuav hu nkauj nrov nrov qhuas koj txojkev cawm dim,
  rau qhov koj yog tus tsomkwm kuv.

   txojkev uas koj yuav taug rau koj,
  kuv yuav qhia koj thiab ua koj tus
   tuavxam.
  9Tsis txhob ruam ib yam li tus nees lossis tus neeszag
  uas yuav tsum muab hwmtxee los looj thiab muab xauv
   sam nws qhovncauj thiaj cob tau.”

  10Cov neeg siab phem yuav raug kev
   txomnyem,
  tiamsis tus TSWV txojkev hlub yuav
   tsomkwm cov neeg uas cia siab rau nws mus li.
  11Nej cov uas yog neeg ncaj ncees,
   cia li txaus siab thiab zoo siab,
  rau qhov tus TSWV tau pab nej lawm.
  Nej cov uas mloog nws lus, cia li qw

The Joy of Forgiveness

A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.
  1Blessed is he whosetransgression is forgiven,
   Whose sin is covered.
   2Blessed is the man to whom the Lorddoes not impute iniquity,
   And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
  3When I kept silent, my bones grew old
   Through my groaning all the day long.
   4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
   My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.
Selah
   5I acknowledged my sin to You,
   And my iniquity I have not hidden.
   I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
   And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah
  6For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
   In a time when You may be found;
   Surely in a flood of great waters
   They shall not come near him.
   7You are my hiding place;
   You shall preserve me from trouble;
   You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah
  8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
   I will guide you with My eye.
   9Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
   Which have no understanding,
   Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
   Else they will not come near you.
  10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
   But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
   11Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
   And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
