1. Happy are those whose sins are forgiven,whose wrongs are pardoned.
2. Happy is the one whom the Lord does not accuse of doing wrongand who is free from all deceit.
3. When I did not confess my sins,I was worn out from crying all day long.
4. Day and night you punished me, Lord;my strength was completely drained,as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
5. Then I confessed my sins to you;I did not conceal my wrongdoings.I decided to confess them to you,and you forgave all my sins.
6. So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need;when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in,it will not reach them.
