Psalm 32

1Blessed is the one whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2Blessed is the man whom Yahweh does not reckon iniquity against, whose spirit is without deceit.

3When I was silent, my bones aged through my groaning all day.

4For day and night your hand weighed heavily upon me; my moisture turned to summer drought. Selah.

5I made my sin known to you, and my iniquity I did not cover. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6For this, let every godly one pray to you while you may be found; surely great flooding waters will not reach him.

7You are my hiding place from trouble; you will guard me, surrounding me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8I will instruct you and direct you in this way you shall go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

9Do not be like a horse or a mule without understanding, whose mouth must be restrained with bit and bridle lest it come near you.

10Many sorrows befall the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in Yahweh.

11Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
