1A Maskil[1] of David. Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. (خر 34:7; مز 85:2; يو 1:29; رو 4:7)2Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. (يو 1:47; 2كو 5:19)3For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. (مز 22:1; مز 31:10)4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up[2] as by the heat of summer. (1صم 5:6; 1صم 5:11; مز 38:2)5I 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. (أي 33:27; مز 38:18; مز 51:3; أم 28:13; لو 15:18; لو 15:21; 1يو 1:9)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. (أي 22:11; مز 18:4; مز 18:16; مز 30:4; مز 42:7; مز 69:1; مز 69:13; مز 144:7)7You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. (خر 15:1; قض 5:1; مز 9:9; مز 18:1; مز 27:5; مز 31:20; مز 91:1; مز 119:114)8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. (مز 25:8; مز 25:12; مز 73:24)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. (أي 35:11; أم 26:3; يع 3:3)10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. (مز 34:8; مز 84:12; أم 13:21; أم 16:20; إر 17:7; رو 2:9)11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! (تث 32:43; مز 7:10; مز 33:1; مز 64:10; مز 68:3; مز 97:12)
