PSALM 32
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1O blessed is the man to whom
is freely pardoned
All the transgression he hath done,
whose sin is covered.
2Bless'd is the man to whom the Lord
imputeth not his sin,
And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,
nor fraud is found therein.
3When as I did refrain my speech,
and silent was my tongue,
My bones then waxed old, because
I roared all day long.
4For upon me both day and night
thine hand did heavy lie,
So that my moisture turned is
in summer's drought thereby.
5I thereupon have unto thee
my sin acknowledged,
And likewise mine iniquity
I have not covered:
I will confess unto the Lord
my trespasses, said I;
And of my sin thou freely didst
forgive th' iniquity.
6For this shall ev'ry godly one
his prayer make to thee;
In such a time he shall thee seek,
as found thou mayest be.
Surely, when floods of waters great
do swell up to the brim,
They shall not overwhelm his soul,
nor once come near to him.
7Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt
from trouble keep me free:
Thou with songs of deliverance
about shalt compass me.
8I will instruct thee, and thee teach
the way that thou shalt go;
And, with mine eye upon thee set,
I will direction show.
9Then be not like the horse or mule,
which do not understand;
Whose mouth, lest they come near to thee,
a bridle must command.
10Unto the man that wicked is
his sorrows shall abound;
But him that trusteth in the Lord
mercy shall compass round.
11Ye righteous, in the Lord be glad,
in him do ye rejoice:
All ye that upright are in heart,
for joy lift up your voice.

Psalms 32
32
It Is Better to Confess Sin
A maskil of David.
1Happy is the person
whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
2Happy is the person
whom the Lord does not consider guilty
and in whom there is nothing false.
3When I kept things to myself,
I felt weak deep inside me.
I moaned all day long.
4Day and night you punished me.
My strength was gone as in the summer heat.Selah
5Then I confessed my sins to you
and didn’t hide my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my sins to the Lord,”
and you forgave my guilt.Selah
6For this reason, all who obey you
should pray to you while they still can.
When troubles rise like a flood,
they will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place.
You protect me from my troubles
and fill me with songs of salvation.Selah
8The Lord says, “I will make you wise and show you where to go.
I will guide you and watch over you.
9So don’t be like a horse or donkey,
that doesn’t understand.
They must be led with bits and reins,
or they will not come near you.”
10Wicked people have many troubles,
but the Lord’s love surrounds those who trust him.
11Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord.
Sing all you whose hearts are right.
