Psalms 32
1 A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person 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 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt 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 remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all day long.
When I helde my tongue, my bones consumed, or when I roared all the day,
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My strength withered as in summer drought. (Selah)
(For thine hand is heauie vpon me, day and night: and my moysture is turned into ye drought of summer. (Selah)
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I no longer hid my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,” and you forgave the guilt 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 Because of this, all who are godly should pray to you at a time of great distress. Then when the surging waters overflow, they will not reach those people.
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 my hiding place; you will guard me from trouble. You will surround me with the songs of victory. (Selah)
Thou art my secret place: thou preseruest me from trouble: thou compassest me about with ioyfull deliuerance. (Selah)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go. I will instruct you with my eye upon 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 like a horse or like a mule, which have no understanding; it is only with bridle and bit to control them that they will go where you want them to.
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 The wicked have many sorrows, but Yahweh's covenant faithfulness will surround the one who trusts in him.
Many sorowes shall come to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shall compasse him.
11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Be glad ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpright in heart.
