Psalm 32
32
The Blessedness of Forgiveness
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1 #
Rom 4.7,8. Blessed 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 is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 #
2 Sam 12.13. I 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 shall every one that is godly pray unto thee
in a time when thou mayest be found:
surely in the floods of great waters
they shall not come nigh unto him.
7Thou art my hiding place;
thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule,
which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they 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.

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.
