Psalms 32:1
Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
