Psalm 32 (WEBP)

[1] Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, 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!

Psalm 32 (KJVS)

[1] Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
[2] Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.
[3] When I kept silence, my bones waxed old Through my roaring all the day long.
[4] For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
[5] I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
[6] For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
[7] Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
[8] I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
[9] Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
[10] Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: But he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.
[11] Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
