Psalms 32
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
A Psalme of David to give instruction. Blessed is he whose wickednes is forgiuen, and whose sinne is couered.
2 O the blessedness of a man, To whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquitie, and in whose spirite there is no guile.
3 When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.
When I helde my tongue, my bones consumed, or when I roared 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)
(For thine hand is heauie vpon me, day and night: and my moysture is turned into ye drought 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)
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 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.
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 You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou art my secret place: thou preseruest me from trouble: thou compassest me about with ioyfull deliuerance. (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.
I will instruct thee, and teache thee in the way that thou shalt goe, and I will guide thee with mine eye.
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.
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 pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, Kindness surrounds him.
Many sorowes shall come to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shall compasse him.
11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
Be glad ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpright in heart.
