Psalms 32
32
A Psalm of David. Maschil.
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no guile.
3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old
Through my roaring all the day long.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. Selah
5I 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
6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
7Thou art my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;
Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:
Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,
Else they will not come near unto thee.
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
But he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Psalms 32
32
Confession and Forgiveness#Ps 32 Hebrew title: A poem by David.
1 #
Rom 4.7–8
Happy are those whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
2Happy is the one whom the LORD does not accuse of doing wrong
and who is free from all deceit.
3When I did not confess my sins,
I was worn out from crying all day long.
4Day and night you punished me, LORD;
my strength was completely drained,
as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
5Then I confessed my sins to you;
I did not conceal my wrongdoings.
I decided to confess them to you,
and you forgave all my sins.
6So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need;#32.6 Some ancient translations need; Hebrew finding only.
when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in,
it will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place;
you will save me from trouble.
I sing aloud of your salvation,
because you protect me.
8The LORD says, “I will teach you the way you should go;
I will instruct you and advise you.
9Don't be stupid like a horse or a mule,
which must be controlled with a bit and bridle
to make it submit.”
10The wicked will have to suffer,
but those who trust in the LORD
are protected by his constant love.
11You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice
because of what the LORD has done.
You that obey him, shout for joy!
