Psalms 32
[1]
whose sin is covered.
[2] Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity,
in whose spirit there is no deceit.
[3] When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
[4] For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.
Selah. [5] I acknowledged my sin to you.
I didn’t hide my iniquity.
I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah. [6] For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.
Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
[7] You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah. [8] I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will counsel you with my eye on you.
[9] Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,
who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
[10] Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
[11] Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous!
Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
