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
A psalm by David; a maskil.#32:0 Unknown musical term.
1Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven
and whose sin is pardoned.
2Blessed is the person whom the Lord no longer accuses of sin
and who has no deceitful thoughts.
3When I kept silent ⌞about my sins⌟,
my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long.
4Day and night your hand laid heavily on me.
My strength shriveled in the summer heat. Selah
5I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt.
I decided to confess them to you, O Lord.
Then you forgave all my sins. Selah
6For this reason let all godly people pray to you
when you may be found.
Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place.
You protect me from trouble.
You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. Selah
8 ⌞The Lord says,⌟
“I will instruct you.
I will teach you the way that you should go.
I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
9Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule.
⌞They need⌟ a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them,
or they will not come near you.”
10Many heartaches await wicked people,
but mercy surrounds those who trust the Lord.
11Be glad and find joy in the Lord, you righteous people.
Sing with joy, all whose motives are decent.
