The Joy of Forgiveness
A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.
1Blessed is he whose⚓transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord⚓does 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
6⚓For 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.
7⚓You 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.
10⚓Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But ⚓he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
11⚓Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Lees txim thiab zam txim
Zaj nkauj Maxakhi⚓ uas Davi sau.
tau nyob kaj siab lug,
yog tus uas nws tej kev txhaum
raug muab faus lawm.
2Tus uas Yawmsaub tsis suav
nws tej kev txhaum
kuj tau nyob kaj siab lug,
yog tus uas tsis muaj kev dag ntxias
hauv nws lub siab.
3Thaum kuv tsis tau lees txim,
kuv lub cev sem zuj zus mus,
vim yog kuv ntsaj laws tas hnub tas hmo.
4Koj txhais tes hnyav rau saum kuv
nruab hnub hmo ntuj,
kuv lub zog kuj qhuav tag
yam li raug tshav ntuj kub thaum ntuj qhua.
5Kuv txawm lees kuv lub txim rau koj,
kuv tsis npog kuv tej kev phem kev qias cia.
Kuv hais tias, “Kuv yuav lees
kuv tej kev fav xeeb rau Yawmsaub,”
mas koj thiaj zam kuv tej kev txhaum txim.
6Vim li no cia txhua tus uas hwm koj
thov koj rau thaum tseem ntsib tau koj.
Thaum dej nyab heev,
kev txom nyem yuav los tsis txog tus ntawd.
7Koj yog kuv lub chaw nraim cev,
koj tsom kwm tsis pub kuv raug kev ceeblaj,
koj muab zaj nkauj uas qhuas tias
kuv dim lawm los qhwv nkaus kuv.
8Kuv yuav coj thiab qhia koj
txog txojkev uas tsim nyog koj taug.
Kuv yuav ntsia ntsoov koj taw qhia koj.
9Koj tsis txhob ua li tus nees thiab tus luj txwv
uas tsis txawj nkag siab,
uas yuav tsum khi looj thawb thiab sam xauv,
yog tsis ua li ntawd
nws yuav tsis nrog koj mus.
10Tus neeg limhiam
raug kev txom nyem ntau heev,
tiamsis txojkev hlub uas ruaj khov
xov vij tus uas tso siab rau Yawmsaub.
11Nej cov uas ncaj ncees 'e,
cia li zoo siab thiab xyiv fab rau Yawmsaub,
nej cov uas lub siab ncaj 'e,
txhua tus cia li qw zoo siab.
