Psalms 32
1 A Psalme of David to give instruction. Blessed is he whose wickednes is forgiuen, and whose sinne is couered.
Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquitie, and in whose spirite there is no guile.
Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I helde my tongue, my bones consumed, or when I roared all the day,
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
4 (For thine hand is heauie vpon me, day and night: and my moysture is turned into ye drought of summer. (Selah)
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat.
5 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)
Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 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.
Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.
7 Thou art my secret place: thou preseruest me from trouble: thou compassest me about with ioyfull deliuerance. (Selah)
You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct thee, and teache thee in the way that thou shalt goe, and I will guide thee with mine eye.
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.
9 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.
Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.
10 Many sorowes shall come to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shall compasse him.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.
11 Be glad ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpright in heart.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
