How blessed is the man to whom the Lord (A)does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is (B)no deceit!

When (C)I kept silent about my sin, (D)my [a]body wasted away
Through my [b](E)groaning all day long.
For day and night (F)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My [c](G)vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. [d]Selah.
