Psalms 32
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
“Of David: a Maskil.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
Happy is the man unto 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 roaring all the day long.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my crying all the day.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
For by day and night lay thy hand heavily upon me: my [life's] moisture hath been changed through the droughts of summer. (Selah)
5 I acknowledge my sin unto you, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
My sin do I ever acknowledge unto thee, and my iniquity have I not covered up. I said, I will make confession because of my transgressions unto the Lord: and thou truly forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
For this shall every pious one pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely [then] when great waters overflow, they shall never reach unto him.
7 You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou art my hiding-place; from distress wilt thou preserve me; with songs of deliverance wilt thou encompass me. (Selah)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with mine eye.
I will instruct thee and I will teach thee concerning the way which thou oughtest to go: I will counsel thee with my eye.
9 Be all of you 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 unto you.
Be ye not like the horse, or like the mule, who hath no understanding; who must be held in with bit and bridle, his ornament, lest he come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
Many are the pains of the wicked; but him that trusteth in the Lord will he encompass with kindness.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, all of you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
