1大衛的訓誨詩。過犯得蒙赦免，罪惡得到遮蓋的人，是有福的。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）
1Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2心裡沒有詭詐，耶和華不算為有罪的，這人是有福的。
2Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3我閉口不認罪的時候，就整天唉哼，以致骨頭衰殘。
3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4因為你的手晝夜重壓在我身上，我的精力耗盡，好像盛暑的乾旱。（細拉）
4For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
5我向你承認我的罪，沒有隱藏我的罪孽；我說：“我要向耶和華承認我的過犯”；你就赦免我的罪孽。（細拉）
5I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6因此，凡是敬虔的人，都當趁你可尋找的時候，向你禱告；大水氾濫的時候，必不能達到他那裡。
6For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7你是我藏身之處，你必保護我脫離患難，以得救的歡呼四面環繞我。（細拉）
7You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8我要教導你，指示你應走的路；我要勸戒你，我的眼睛看顧你。
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9你不可像無知的騾馬，如果不用嚼環轡頭勒住牠們，牠們就不肯走近。
9Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10惡人必受許多痛苦；但倚靠耶和華的，必有慈愛四面環繞他。
10Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
11義人哪！你們要靠著耶和華歡喜快樂；所有心裡正直的人哪！你們都要歡呼。
11Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
