Psalms 32
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven , Whose sin is covered . 2Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity , And in whose spirit there is no guile . 3When I kept silence , my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long . 4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me : My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer . [ Selah 5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide : I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah ; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin . [ Selah 6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found : Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him . 7Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble ; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance . [ Selah 8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee . 9Be ye not as the horse , or as the mule , which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in , Else they will not come near unto thee. 10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked ; But he that trusteth in Jehovah , lovingkindness shall compass him about . 11Be glad in Jehovah , and rejoice , ye righteous ; And shout for joy , all ye that are upright in heart .
