Psalm 32

||A Psalm of David, Maschil.

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

2  Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord bimputeth not iniquity,

And cin whose spirit there is no guile.

3  When I kept silence, dmy bones waxed old

Through my eroaring all the day long.

4  For day and night thy fhand was heavy upon me:

My gmoisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5  I hacknowledged my sin unto thee,

And mine iniquity have I not hid.

iI 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 iigodly pray unto thee j†in a time when thou mayest be found:

Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7  Thou art my khiding place; thou shalt preserve me lfrom trouble;

Thou shalt compass me about with msongs 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  nBe ye not as the horse,

Or as the mule, which have no understanding:

oWhose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,

Lest they come near unto thee.

10  pMany sorrows shall be to the wicked:

But qhe that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

11  rBe glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous:

And sshout for joy, all ye that are tupright in heart.
