Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil ▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term of David.
1 iBlessed is the one whose jtransgression is forgiven,whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man against whom the Lord kcounts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit lthere is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my mbones wasted away
through my ngroaning all day long.
4For day and night your ohand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up ▼
▼Hebrew my vitality was changed
as by the heat of summer. Selah 5 I qacknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I rwill confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
Psalms 51:1-3
Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when sNathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1 tHave mercy on me, ▼▼Or Be gracious to me
O God,according to your steadfast love;
according to your vabundant mercy
wblot out my transgressions.
2 xWash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and ycleanse me from my sin!
3 zFor I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Psalms 51:9
9 aaHide your face from my sins,and abblot out all my iniquities.
Psalms 103:12
12as far as the east is from the west,so far does he acremove our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 1:16-18
16 adWash yourselves; make yourselves clean;remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
aecease to do evil,
17learn to do good;
afseek justice,
correct oppression;
agbring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow’s cause.
18 “Come now, ahlet us reason ▼
▼Or dispute
together, says the Lord:though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as ajwhite as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
