Psalms 32
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven , whose sin is covered . 2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity , and in whose spirit there is no guile . 3When I kept silence , my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer . Selah . 5I 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 . 6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found : surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. 7Thou art my hiding place ; thou shalt preserve me from trouble ; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance . Selah . 8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will guide thee with mine eye . 9Be 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 come near unto thee. 10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked : but he that trusteth in the LORD , mercy shall compass him about. 11Be glad in the LORD , and rejoice , ye righteous : and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart .
