PSALM 32
Of David. Instruction.
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! 2Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile! 3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long. 4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah. 5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
7Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah. 8I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. 9Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee. 10Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him. 11Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.

Psalms 32
32
It Is Better to Confess Sin
A maskil of David.
1Happy is the person
whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
2Happy is the person
whom the Lord does not consider guilty.
In that person there is nothing false.
3When I kept things to myself,
I felt weak deep inside me.
I moaned all day long.
4Day and night
you punished me.
My strength was gone
as in the summer heat. Selah
5Then I confessed my sins to you.
I didn’t hide my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my sins to the Lord.”
And you forgave my guilt. Selah
6For this reason, all who obey you
should pray to you while they still can.
When troubles rise like a flood,
they will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place.
You protect me from my troubles.
You fill me with songs of salvation. Selah
8The Lord says, “I will make you wise. I will show you where to go.
I will guide you and watch over you.
9So don’t be like a horse or donkey.
They don’t understand.
They must be led with bits and reins,
or they will not come near you.”
10Wicked people have many troubles.
But the Lord’s love surrounds those who trust him.
11Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord.
All you whose hearts are right, sing.
