Psalms

Chapter 32

1 Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven , whose sin is covered .

2 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity , in whose spirit there is no deceit .

3 When I kept silence , 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 in the heat of summer . Selah .

5 I 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 .

6 For this , let everyone who 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 .

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

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

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

10 Many sorrows come to the wicked , but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh .

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