Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.

[1] Blessed is the one

whose transgressions are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

[2] Blessed is the one

whose sin the Lord does not count against them

and in whose spirit is no deceit.

[3] When I kept silent,

my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

[4] For day and night

your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was sapped

as in the heat of summer.

[5] Then I acknowledged my sin to you

and did not cover up my iniquity.

I said, “I will confess

my transgressions to the Lord.”

And you forgave

the guilt of my sin.

[6] Therefore let all the faithful pray to you

while you may be found;

surely the rising of the mighty waters

will not reach them.

[7] You are my hiding place;

you will protect me from trouble

and surround me with songs of deliverance.

[8] I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

[9] Do not be like the horse or the mule,

which have no understanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

or they will not come to you.

[10] Many are the woes of the wicked,

but the Lord’s unfailing love

surrounds the one who trusts in him.

[11] Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;

sing, all you who are upright in heart!
