Psalms 32

1 Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!

2 Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!

3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. (Selah)

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)

5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

7 Thou are my hiding-place. Thou will preserve me from trouble. Thou will encompass me around with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go. I will counsel thee with my eye upon thee.

I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.

9 Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near to thee.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness shall encompass him about.

Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.

11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.

Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
