It is a great blessing
    when the Lord says they are not guilty,
    when they don’t try to hide their sins.

Every day you made life harder for me.
    I became like a dry land in the hot summertime. Selah

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]
