How happy is the person whose sin the Eternal will not take into account.[a]
    How happy are those who no longer lie, to themselves or others.

When I refused to admit my wrongs, I was miserable,
    moaning and complaining all day long
    so that even my bones felt brittle.
Day and night, Your hand kept pressing on me.
    My strength dried up like water in the summer heat;
    You wore me down.

  1. 32:1–2 Romans 4:7–8
  2. 32:4 Literally, selah, likely a musical direction from a Hebrew root meaning “to lift up”

Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them(A)
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.(B)

When I kept silent,(C)
    my bones wasted away(D)
    through my groaning(E) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(F) on me;
my strength was sapped(G)
    as in the heat of summer.[a]
