Psalm 32

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When I kept silent, my bones waxed old through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; the sap of my soul was turned into the drought of summer. Selah

5 I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD," and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely the floods of great waters shall not come nigh unto him.

7 Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah

8 "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with Mine eye.

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 not come near unto thee."

10 Many shall be the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
