Psa 32:1  
A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.[fn1]
BLESSED is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.
Psa 32:2  
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Psa 32:3  
When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
Psa 32:4  
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.
Selah
Psa 32:5  
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,"
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah

Psa 32:6  
For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
Psa 32:7  
You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah

Psa 32:8  
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
Psa 32:9  
Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.

Psa 32:10  
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
Psa 32:11  
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
