Psalms 32
1 A Psalme of David to give instruction. Blessed is he whose wickednes is forgiuen, and whose sinne is couered.
“A psalm of David.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!
2 Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquitie, and in whose spirite there is no guile.
Happy the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 When I helde my tongue, my bones consumed, or when I roared all the day,
While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, By reason of my groaning all the 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 thy hand was heavy upon me; My moisture dried up, as in summer's drought.
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)
At length I acknowledged to thee my sin, And did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgression to the LORD;” And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin! (Pause)
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 shall every pious man pray to thee, while thou mayst be found; Surely the floods of great waters shall not come near him.
7 Thou art my secret place: thou preseruest me from trouble: thou compassest me about with ioyfull deliuerance. (Selah)
Thou art my hiding-place; thou preservest me from trouble; Thou compassest me about with songs of deliverance. (Pause)
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 thee, and show thee the way thou shouldst go; I will give thee counsel, and keep mine eye upon thee.
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.
Be ye not like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding, Whose mouths must be pressed with the bridle and curb, Because they will not come near thee!
10 Many sorowes shall come to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shall compasse him.
The wicked hath many sorrows; But he that trusteth in the LORD is encompassed with mercies.
11 Be glad ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpright in heart.
Rejoice in the LORD, and be glad, ye righteous; Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
