[Verse 1] Blessed is the one whose sin is covered, Whose wickedness the Lord has washed away. No longer does He count the guilt against me, No guile remains inside this heart today. When I kept silent, bones wasted in the night, Your hand was heavy, moisture turned to dust. But I confessed, I laid it all before You— And in that moment, mercy covered us. [Chorus] You are my secret place, my hiding, You preserve me from the flood. Joyful deliverance surrounds me, I will trust and call You good. Many sorrows for the wicked, But mercy compasses the one who trusts. Be glad, you righteous—rejoice in the Lord, Upright in heart, lift up your song! [Verse 2] When I was afraid, I put my trust in You, I will not fear what flesh can do to me. They mark my steps and wait to swallow me, Yet You have kept my tears in Your bottle carefully. You counted every wandering, every cry, Delivered soul from death, my feet from fall. Now I will walk before You in the light, And render praises for the vows I’ve called. [Chorus] You are my secret place, my hiding, You preserve me from the flood. Joyful deliverance surrounds me, I will trust and call You good. Many sorrows for the wicked, But mercy compasses the one who trusts. Be glad, you righteous—rejoice in the Lord, Upright in heart, lift up your song! [Bridge] Blessed is the man who walks not with the scornful, Whose delight is in the law both day and night. Like a tree beside the rivers, fruit in season, Leaf that will not fade, and all he does is right. The wicked are like chaff the wind will drive away— They shall not stand when judgment comes at last. But the Lord knows the way of the righteous, And the path of the wicked shall perish in the past. [Final Chorus] You are my secret place, my hiding, You preserve me from the flood. Joyful deliverance surrounds me, I will trust and call You good. Be glad, you righteous—rejoice in the Lord, And be joyful, all who are upright in heart!
