Psalms 32
32
Thanksgiving for Forgiveness of Sins
Of David. A maskil.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1Happy is he whose transgression is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
2Happy is a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity
and in whose spirit there is not deceit.
3When I kept silent, my bones were worn out
due to my groaning all the day.
4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me.
My vigor was changed into the dry heat of summer. Selah
5I made known my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not cover.
I said, “I will confess concerning my transgressions to Yahweh,”
and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah
6Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
at the time for finding you.
Surely at the flood of many waters they will not reach him.
7You are my hiding place;
from trouble you preserve me.
With cries of deliverance you surround me. Selah
8I#Yahweh is speaking in vv. 8–9 will instruct you and teach you
in the way that you should go.
I will advise you with my eye upon you.
9Do not be like a horse or like a mule, without understanding;
that needs his tackle—bridle and rein—for restraint
or he would not come near you.
10Many are the pains of the wicked,
but for the one who trusts Yahweh
loyal love surrounds him.
11Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright of heart.
