Psalms 32

1 AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

2 O the blessedness of a man, To whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.

4 When by day and by night Your hand is heavy on me, My moisture has been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)

5 I cause You to know my sin, And I have not covered my iniquity. I have said, “I confess to YHWH concerning My transgressions,” And You have taken away the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 For every saintly one prays this to You, In the time to find [You]. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, They do not come to him.

7 You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 I cause you to act wisely, And direct you in the way that you go, I cause My eye to take counsel concerning you.

9 Do not be as a horse—as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near to you.

10 Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, Kindness surrounds him.

11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
