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