Psalms 32
32
(A special psalm by David.)
The joy of forgiveness
1Our God, you bless everyone#Ro 4.7-8.
whose sins you forgive
and wipe away.
2You bless them by saying,
“You told me your sins,
without trying to hide them,
and now I forgive you.”
3Before I confessed my sins,
my bones felt limp,
and I groaned all day long.
4Night and day your hand
weighed heavily on me,
and my strength was gone
as in the summer heat.
5So I confessed my sins
and told them all to you.
I said, “I'll tell the LORD
each one of my sins.”
Then you forgave me
and took away my guilt.
6We worship you, Lord,
and we should always pray
whenever we find out
that we have sinned.#32.6 whenever…sinned: Hebrew “at a time of finding only”.
Then we won't be swept away
by a raging flood.
7You are my hiding place!
You protect me from trouble,
and you put songs in my heart
because you have saved me.
8You said to me,
“I will point out the road
that you should follow.
I will be your teacher
and watch over you.
9Don't be stupid
like horses and mules
that must be led with ropes
to make them obey.”
10All kinds of troubles
will strike the wicked,
but your kindness shields those
who trust you, LORD.
11And so your good people
should celebrate and shout.

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!
