Psalm 32

The Joy of Forgiveness

Of David. A Maskil.

1 # Ps 85.2 Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

2 # Jn 1.47; 2 Cor 5.19 Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity

and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 # Ps 31.10; 38.8; 39.2, 3 While I kept silent, my body wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

4 # Job 33.7 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was dried up#32.4 Meaning of Heb uncertain as by the heat of summer. Selah

5 # Lev 26.40; Ps 103.12 Then I acknowledged my sin to you,

and I did not hide my iniquity;

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

6 # Ps 69.13; 144.7; Isa 43.2 Therefore let all who are faithful

offer prayer to you;

at a time of distress,#32.6 Cn: Heb at a time of finding only the rush of mighty waters

shall not reach them.

7 # Ex 15.1; Ps 31.20; 121.7 You are a hiding place for me;

you preserve me from trouble;

you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah

8 # Ps 25.8; 33.18 I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;

I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

9 # Jas 3.3 Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding,

whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle,

else it will not stay near you.

10 # Prov 16.20; Rom 2.9 Many are the torments of the wicked,

but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.

11 # Ps 64.10 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous,

and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
