Tehillim (Psa) 32
32
1By David. A maskil:
How blessed are those whose offense is forgiven,
those whose sin is covered!
2How blessed those to whom Adonai imputes no guilt,
in whose spirit is no deceit!
3When I kept silent, my bones wasted away
because of my groaning all day long;
4day and night your hand was heavy on me;
the sap in me dried up as in a summer drought. (Selah)
5When I acknowledged my sin to you,
when I stopped concealing my guilt,
and said, “I will confess my offenses to Adonai”;
then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
6This is what everyone faithful should pray
at a time when you can be found.
Then, when the floodwaters are raging,
they will not reach to him.
7You are a hiding-place for me,
you will keep me from distress;
you will surround me
with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8“I will instruct and teach you
in this way that you are to go;
I will give you counsel;
my eyes will be watching you.”
9Don’t be like a horse or mule
that has no understanding,
that has to be curbed with bit and bridle,
or else it won’t come near you.
10Many are the torments of the wicked,
but grace surrounds those who trust in Adonai.
11Be glad in Adonai; rejoice, you righteous!
Shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Psalm 32
A psalm by David; a maskil.#32:0 Unknown musical term.
1Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven
and whose sin is pardoned.
2Blessed is the person whom the Lord no longer accuses of sin
and who has no deceitful thoughts.
3When I kept silent ⌞about my sins⌟,
my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long.
4Day and night your hand laid heavily on me.
My strength shriveled in the summer heat. Selah
5I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt.
I decided to confess them to you, O Lord.
Then you forgave all my sins. Selah
6For this reason let all godly people pray to you
when you may be found.
Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place.
You protect me from trouble.
You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. Selah
8 ⌞The Lord says,⌟
“I will instruct you.
I will teach you the way that you should go.
I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
9Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule.
⌞They need⌟ a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them,
or they will not come near you.”
10Many heartaches await wicked people,
but mercy surrounds those who trust the Lord.
11Be glad and find joy in the Lord, you righteous people.
Sing with joy, all whose motives are decent.
