Psalm 32 ©

David teaches here that they are blessed to whom God forgives their sins, and who confess the same uprightly; which he confirms with his own example and the practice of all believers, warning for stubbornness and exhorting to cheerfulness in God for His kindness.

A Psalm of David, 1Maschil.a

1

BLESSED2is heb whose transgression is 3forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose 4spirit there is no guile.

3

When I kept 5silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4

For day and night thy 6hand was heavy upon me: my 7moisture is turned into the drought of summer. 8Selah.

5

I 9acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confessc my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou 10forgavest 11the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6

For this shall every one that is 12godly pray unto thee 13in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of 14great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7

Thoudart my 15hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8

16I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with 17mine eye.

9

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whosee mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, 18lest they come near unto thee.

10

Many 19sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, 20mercy shall compass him about.

11

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are 21upright in heart.
