1 Happy the one whose transgression is forgiven, ♦︎
and whose sin is covered.
2 Happy the one to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, ♦︎
and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 For I held my tongue; ♦︎
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all the day long.
4 Your hand was heavy upon me day and night; ♦︎
my moisture was dried up like the drought in summer.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you ♦︎
and my iniquity I did not hide.
6 I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, ♦︎
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
7 Therefore let all the faithful make their prayers to you
in time of trouble; ♦︎
in the great water flood, it shall not reach them.
8 You are a place for me to hide in;
you preserve me from trouble; ♦︎
you surround me with songs of deliverance.
9 I will instruct you and teach you
in the way that you should go; ♦︎
I will guide you with my eye.
10 Be not like horse and mule which have no understanding; ♦︎
whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle,
or else they will not stay near you.
11 Great tribulations remain for the wicked, ♦︎
but mercy embraces those who trust in the Lord.
12 Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in the Lord; ♦︎
shout for joy, all who are true of heart.

34The Lord said to Moses, Cut two tablets of stone like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets, which you broke.
2Be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to me, on the top of the mountain.
3No one shall come up with you, and do not let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; and do not let flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain.
4So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the former ones; and he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
5The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name, The Lord.*
6The Lord passed before him, and proclaimed,
The Lord, the Lord,
a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger,
and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,
7 keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation,*
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
yet by no means clearing the guilty,
but visiting the iniquity of the parents
upon the children
and the childrens children,
to the third and the fourth generation.
8And Moses quickly bowed his head towards the earth, and worshipped.
9He said, If now I have found favour in your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.
27 The Lord said to Moses: Write these words; in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel. 28He was there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.*

10 Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven.* 12What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. 14So it is not the will of your* Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
