PSALM 32
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. A skillful #Meaning uncertain.song, or a didactic or reflective poem.
1Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,
And whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long.
4For day and night Your hand [of displeasure] was heavy upon me;
My #Lit life juices were turned into the drought of summer.energy (vitality, strength) was drained away as with the burning heat of summer. Selah.
5I acknowledged my sin to You,
And I did not hide my wickedness;
I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
6Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found;
Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.
7You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble;
You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.
9Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
10Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness.
11Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him];
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.
