\d A psalm written by David, which will help people to be wise
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him
|
|
\q2 and those whose sin God does not look at,
|
|
\q2 these are the ones who are truly fortunate!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Those whose record of sins Yahweh has erased
|
|
\q2 and those who no longer do deceitful things,
|
|
\q2 these are the ones who are truly fortunate!
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 When I did not confess my sins,
|
|
\q2 my body was very weak and sick,
|
|
\q2 and I groaned all day long.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Day and night, Yahweh, you punished me severely.
|
|
\q2 My strength disappeared like water that evaporates on a hot summer day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Then I confessed my sins to you;
|
|
\q2 I stopped trying to hide them.
|
|
\q1 I said to myself,
|
|
\q2 "I will tell Yahweh the wrong things that I have done."
|
|
\q1 When I confessed them, you forgave me,
|
|
\q2 so now I am no longer guilty for my sins.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Therefore the people who honor you should pray to you
|
|
\q2 when they are in great trouble.
|
|
\q1 If they do that, difficulties will not come on them like a great flood.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 You are like a place where I can hide from my enemies;
|
|
\q2 you protect me from troubles
|
|
\q2 and enable me to shout, praising you for saving me from my enemies.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh says to me, "I will instruct you about how you should conduct your life.
|
|
\q2 I will teach you and watch over you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Do not be stupid like horses and mules that do not understand anything;
|
|
\q2 they need bits
|
|
\q2 so they will go in the direction you want them to go."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Wicked people will have many troubles that will make them sad,
|
|
\q2 but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 So, all you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh has done for you;
|
|
\q2 you whose heart are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
