[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.

You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy; my afflicted bones shall rejoice.

Turn away Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

You have forgiven Your people their transgressions; You have covered all their sins. Pause.

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

For with You is forgiveness;

Comfort, yes, comfort My people, says [your] God.

Speak, you priests, to the heart of Jerusalem; comfort her, for her humiliation is accomplished, her sin is put away; for she has received of the Lord's hand double [for] her sins.

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me, and I will not remember their sins by which they have sinned against Me, and revolted from Me.

And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do. And they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.

Who is a God like You, canceling iniquities, and passing over the sins of the remnant of His inheritance? And He has not kept His anger for a testimony, for He delights in mercy.

He shall give blessings truly to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers, according to the former days.

And behold, they were carrying a paralytic to Him lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Have courage, child; your sins are forgiven you."

For which reason I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

And those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say within themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
