Psalm 3246
By David; a well-written song.47
32:1 How blessed1 is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven,2
whose sin is pardoned!3
32:2 How blessed is the one4 whose wrongdoing the Lord does not punish,5
in whose spirit there is no deceit.6
32:3 When I refused to confess my sin,7
my whole body wasted away,8
while I groaned in pain all day long.
32:4 For day and night you tormented me;9
you tried to destroy me10 in the intense heat11 of summer.12
(Selah)
I no longer covered up my wrongdoing.
I said, “I will confess13 my rebellious acts to the Lord.”
And then you forgave my sins.14
(Selah)
32:6 For this reason every one of your faithful followers15 should pray to you
while there is a window of opportunity.16
Certainly17 when the surging water18 rises,
it will not reach them.19
you protect me from distress.
You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance.20
(Selah)
32:8 I will instruct and teach you21 about how you should live.22
I will advise you as I look you in the eye.23
32:9 Do not be24 like an unintelligent horse or mule,25
which will not obey you
unless they are controlled by a bridle and bit.26
32:10 An evil person suffers much pain,27
but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.28
32:11 Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly!
Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!29
