How blessed is a person whose guilt the Lord (A)does not take into account,
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 failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
