Psalm 32

Beati quorum.
BLESSED is he whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth no sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile. For whilst I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining. For thy hand was heavy upon me day and night, and my moisture was like the drought in summer. I acknowledged my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, I will confess my sins unto the LORD; and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. For this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found; surely the great water-floods shall not come nigh him. Thou art a place to hide me in; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding; whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, else they will not obey thee. Great plagues remain for the ungodly; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD, mercy embraceth him on every side. Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the LORD; and be joyful, all ye that are true of heart.

[Coverdale]

A Psalm of David, Maschil.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and
in whose spirit there is no guile.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they
shall not come nigh unto him.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt
go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest
they come near unto thee.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the
LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
