Psalm 32
A Maskil of David.
1
j Blessed is the one whose k transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord l counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit m there is no deceit.
3
For when I kept silent, my n bones wasted away
through my o groaning all day long.
4
For day and night your p hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5
I q acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, "I r will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6
Therefore let everyone who is s godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you t may be found;
surely in the rush of u great waters,
they shall not reach him.
7
You are a v hiding place for me;
you preserve me from w trouble;
you surround me with x shouts of deliverance. Selah
8
I will y instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will z counsel you with my eye upon you.
9
a Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with b bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.
10
c Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who d trusts in the Lord.
11
e Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and f shout for joy, all you g upright in heart!
