Psalms 32
1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring all the day long.
Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drouth of summer. (Selah)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to him.
For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8 I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye.
I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
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, lest they come near to thee.
Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
