Psalms 32
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. A Possibly Contemplative; or Didactic; or Skillful PsalmMaskil.
11How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!2How blessed is a person whose guilt the Lord 2does not take into account, And in whose spirit there is 3no deceit!
3When 4I kept silent about my sin, 5my 6body wasted away Through my 78groaning all day long.4For day and night 9Your hand was heavy upon me; My 1011vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah5I 12acknowledged my sin to You, And I 13did not hide my guilt; I said, “14I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord”; And You 15forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah6Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You 1617in a time when You may be found; Certainly 18in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.7You are 19my hiding place; You 20keep me from trouble; You surround me with 2122songs of deliverance. Selah
8I will 23instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will advise you 24with My eye upon you.9Do not be 25like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.10The 26sorrows of the wicked are many, But 27the one who trusts in the Lord, goodness will surround him.11Be 28glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are 29upright in heart.
