The Psalms (WEB)

Psalm 32

By David. A contemplative psalm.

 ^32:1Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,
      Whose sin is covered.

 ^32:2Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn't impute iniquity,
      In whose spirit there is no deceit.

 ^32:3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

 ^32:4For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
      My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.

 Selah.

 ^32:5I acknowledged my sin to you.
      I didn't hide my iniquity.

 I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,
      And you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

 Selah.

 ^32:6For this, let everyone that is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.
      Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

 ^32:7You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble.
      You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

 Selah.

 ^32:8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
      I will counsel you with my eye on you.

 ^32:9Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,
      Whose are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

 ^32:10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked,
      But he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him.

 ^32:11Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous!
      Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
