Psalms 32

32
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.
