A Psalm of David. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you.
Praise befits the upright.
Sing to him a new song, play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save. 21 Yea, our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
