1A Maskil[1] of David. Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. (出34:7; 诗85:2; 约1:29; 羅4:7)2Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. (约1:47; 林后5:19)3For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. (诗22:1; 诗31:10)4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up[2] as by the heat of summer. (撒上5:6; 撒上5:11; 诗38:2)5I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (伯33:27; 诗38:18; 诗51:3; 箴28:13; 路15:18; 路15:21; 约一1:9)6Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. (伯22:11; 诗18:4; 诗18:16; 诗30:4; 诗42:7; 诗69:1; 诗69:13; 诗144:7)7You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. (出15:1; 士5:1; 诗9:9; 诗18:1; 诗27:5; 诗31:20; 诗91:1; 诗119:114)8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. (诗25:8; 诗25:12; 诗73:24)9Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. (伯35:11; 箴26:3; 雅3:3)10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. (诗34:8; 诗84:12; 箴13:21; 箴16:20; 耶17:7; 羅2:9)11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! (申32:43; 诗7:10; 诗33:1; 诗64:10; 诗68:3; 诗97:12)
