PSALM 32
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1O blessed is the man to whom
is freely pardoned
All the transgression he hath done,
whose sin is covered.
2Bless'd is the man to whom the Lord
imputeth not his sin,
And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,
nor fraud is found therein.
3When as I did refrain my speech,
and silent was my tongue,
My bones then waxed old, because
I roared all day long.
4For upon me both day and night
thine hand did heavy lie,
So that my moisture turned is
in summer's drought thereby.
5I thereupon have unto thee
my sin acknowledged,
And likewise mine iniquity
I have not covered:
I will confess unto the Lord
my trespasses, said I;
And of my sin thou freely didst
forgive th' iniquity.
6For this shall ev'ry godly one
his prayer make to thee;
In such a time he shall thee seek,
as found thou mayest be.
Surely, when floods of waters great
do swell up to the brim,
They shall not overwhelm his soul,
nor once come near to him.
7Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt
from trouble keep me free:
Thou with songs of deliverance
about shalt compass me.
8I will instruct thee, and thee teach
the way that thou shalt go;
And, with mine eye upon thee set,
I will direction show.
9Then be not like the horse or mule,
which do not understand;
Whose mouth, lest they come near to thee,
a bridle must command.
10Unto the man that wicked is
his sorrows shall abound;
But him that trusteth in the Lord
mercy shall compass round.
11Ye righteous, in the Lord be glad,
in him do ye rejoice:
All ye that upright are in heart,
for joy lift up your voice.

Tehillim (Psalms) 32
32
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man to whom יהוה imputes no crookedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3When I kept silent, my bones became old Through my groaning all the day.
4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My sap was turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.
5I acknowledged my sin to You, And my crookedness I did not hide. I have said, “I confess my transgressions to יהוה,” And You forgave the crookedness of my sin. Selah.
6Therefore, let every lovingly-committed one pray to You While You might be found; Even in a flood of great waters They would not reach him.
7You are my hiding place; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8“Let Me instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; Let Me counsel, My eye be on you.
9Do not be like the horse, like the mule, With no understanding, with bit and bridle, Else they do not come near you.”
10Many are the sorrows of the wrong; But as for the one trusting in יהוה, Loving-commitment surrounds him.
11Be glad in יהוה and exult, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
