Psalms 32

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.
