2. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3. Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5. I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6. For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7. Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8. I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
