Blessed is the man against whom the Lord (A)counts no iniquity,
    and in whose spirit (B)there is no deceit.

For when I kept silent, my (C)bones wasted away
    through my (D)groaning all day long.
For day and night your (E)hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up[a] as by the heat of summer. Selah

I (F)acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I (G)will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

  1. Psalm 32:4 Hebrew my vitality was changed

Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them(A)
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.(B)

When I kept silent,(C)
    my bones wasted away(D)
    through my groaning(E) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(F) on me;
my strength was sapped(G)
    as in the heat of summer.[a]

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.(H)
I said, “I will confess(I)
    my transgressions(J) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.(K)
