Psalms 32
1 A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.
A Psalme of David to give instruction. Blessed is he whose wickednes is forgiuen, and whose sinne is couered.
2 Happy is the man unto whom the LORD counteth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
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 wore 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 sap was turned as in the droughts 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 unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD' — and Thou, Thou forgavest 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 every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach unto 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 art my hiding-place; Thou wilt preserve me from the adversary; with songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. (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 shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being 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 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, that they come not near unto 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 are the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy compasseth him about.
Many sorowes shall come to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shall compasse him.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Be glad ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpright in heart.
