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
A Psalm of David. A Maskil.
1 #
Rom 4.7-8. Blessed 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 thy hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up#32.4 Heb obscure as by the heat of summer. Selah
5I acknowledged my sin to thee,
and I did not hide my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my trangressions to the Lord”;
then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. Selah
6Therefore let every one who is godly
offer prayer to thee;
at a time of distress,#32.6 Cn: Heb at a time of finding only in the rush of great waters,
they shall not reach him.
7Thou art a hiding place for me,
thou preservest me from trouble;
thou dost encompass me with deliverance.#32.7 Cn: Heb shouts of 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!
