About this psalm
A Maskil, and the second of the penitential psalms, though it is mostly about the relief on the far side. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. David describes what keeping quiet about it did to him — my bones waxed old — and then what happened when he stopped: thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Paul quotes the opening in Romans.

Selah
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.Selah
6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.7Thou art my hiding place;thou shalt preserve me from trouble;thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.Selah
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:I will guide thee with mine eye.9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.Press a verse to light it · again for the pen · King James
