Chapter 32

  [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.  

  Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.  

  When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.  

  For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.  

  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.  

  For 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.  

  Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.  

  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.  

  Be 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.  

  Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.  

  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
