32:1 A Psalm of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 32:2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 32:3 When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me;my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. [Selah] 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity;I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD';then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. [Selah] 32:6 Therefore let every one who is godly offer prayer to thee;at a time of distress, in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. 32:7 Thou art a hiding place for me, thou preservest me from trouble;thou dost encompass me with deliverance. [Selah] 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 32:9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you. 32:10 Many are the pangs of the wicked;but steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in the LORD. 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
