1A Psalm of instruction by David. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.

2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, And in whose mouth there is no guile.

— Psalms 31:3 —

4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.

5I acknowledged my sin, And hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; And thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
