< Psalms 32 >

1 Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
A Psalme of David to give instruction. Blessed is he whose wickednes is forgiuen, and whose sinne is couered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquitie, and in whose spirite there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.
When I helde my tongue, my bones consumed, or when I roared all the day,
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. (Selah)
(For thine hand is heauie vpon me, day and night: and my moysture is turned into ye 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)
Then I acknowledged my sinne vnto thee, neither hid I mine iniquitie: for I thought, I will confesse against my selfe my wickednesse vnto the Lord, and thou forgauest the punishment of my sinne. (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.
Therefore shall euery one, that is godly, make his prayer vnto thee in a time, when thou mayest be founde: surely in the flood of great waters they shall not come neere 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 my secret place: thou preseruest me from trouble: thou compassest me about with ioyfull deliuerance. (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 teache thee in the way that thou shalt goe, and I will guide thee with mine eye.
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 like an horse, or like a mule, which vnderstand not: whose mouthes thou doest binde with bit and bridle, least they come neere thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness shall encompass him about.
Many sorowes shall come to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shall compasse him.
11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.
Be glad ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpright in heart.
