Psalms 32 — ASV

A Psalm of David. Maschil.

32Verse 1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
^{Verse 2}Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no guile.
^{Verse 3}When I kept silence, my bones wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long.
^{Verse 4}For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. [Selah
^{Verse 5}I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
And mine iniquity did I not hide:
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;
And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah
^{Verse 6}For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
^{Verse 7}Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;
Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah
^{Verse 8}I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
^{Verse 9}Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;
Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,
Else they will not come near unto thee.
^{Verse 10}Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
^{Verse 11}Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;
And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
