Psalm 32

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven

Whose sin is covered

Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity

And in whose spirit there is no deceit

For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away

Through my groaning all day long

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me

My strength was dried up as by the heat of summer

I acknowledged my sin to you

And I did not cover my iniquity

I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord

And you forgave the iniquity of my sin

Therefore let everyone who is godly

Offer prayer to you at a time

When you may be found

Surely in the rush of great waters

They shall not reach him

You are a hiding place for me

You preserve me from trouble

You surround me with shouts of deliverance

I will instruct you

And teach you in the way you should go

I will counsel you with my eye upon you

Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding

Which must be curbed with bit and bridle

Or it will not stay near you

Many are the sorrows of the wicked

But steadfast love surrounds the one

Who trusts in the Lord

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice

O righteous and shout

For joy, all you up-right in heart!
