The following is a metrical paraphrase by David Schütz (alt), which may be sung to the tune of AT 407 (The Lord will keep me safe and holy) or St Clement (LH 549, TIS 458). If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm.

How blest are those who are forgiven,
whose sin is covered by God’s grace.
How blest are those the Lord calls righteous,
who look to him with honest face.
My soul and body groaned in anguish,
while I stayed silent through the day;
for day and night your hand was on me,
and in the end, my strength gave way.

Then I confessed my sin before you;
I did not hide my guilt with words.
I said that I would make confession,
of my transgression to the Lord.
Then you forgave all my wrongdoing,
and you forgave me all my sin;
my pain is gone, my guilt is ended,
and now a new day can begin.

So then let all your faithful people
lift up to you their heartfelt prayers.
The raging waters shall not reach them,
they won’t be swamped by endless cares.
You are my hiding-place and refuge,
I run to you in times of need,
and you preserve me from all trouble,
so now I sing, for I am free.

For you have said, ‘I will instruct you,
teach you to see which way to go;
I always keep my eye upon you,
I teach you what you need to know.
So never be like horse or donkey,
with no idea of what to do;
for they need curbs of bit and bridle,
or else they won’t stay close to you.’

All kinds of trouble strike the wicked,
for they have no-one on their side.
But steadfast love surrounds your people,
who put their trust in you as guide.
And so be glad in him, you righteous,
and in the Lord find peace at last;
and shout for joy, and give him glory,
for he gives peace within your hearts.
