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.

Psalm 32
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. A #32:0 Possibly Contemplative; or Didactic; or Skillful PsalmMaskil.
1How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
2How blessed is a person whose guilt the Lord does not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit!
3¶When I kept silent about my sin, my #32:3 Or bones, substancebody wasted away
Through my #32:3 Lit roaringgroaning all day long.
4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My #32:4 Lit life juices were turned into the drought of summervitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
5I acknowledged my sin to You,
And I did not hide my guilt;
I said, “I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
6Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You #32:6 Lit in a time of finding outin a time when You may be found;
Certainly in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
7You are my hiding place; You keep me from trouble;
You surround me with #32:7 Or shoutssongs of deliverance. Selah
8¶I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you with My eye upon you.
9Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
10The sorrows of the wicked are many,
But the one who trusts in the Lord, goodness will surround him.
11Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
