Psalm 31
1
A Psalm of instruction by David. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.
3
Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
4
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.
5
I 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.
6
Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
7
Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.
8
I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.
9
Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding: but thou must constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.
10
Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
11
Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
