Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven,Whose sins are covered.Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit there is no deceit.When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.For day and night your hand was heavy on me; My strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover ...  Read More
