Psalm 32

32:1

Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

32:2

Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

32:3

When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

32:4

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

32:5

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

32:6

Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

32:7

You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

32:8

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

32:9

Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.

32:10

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

32:11

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
