Psalms 32

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

[A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.

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

Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.

3 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 turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)

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

5 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)

I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 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.

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

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

Thou [art] my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

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

I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye.

9 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.

Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee.

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

Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.

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

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
