Psalms 32
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,
Of David. A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.). Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered (note: LXX Blessed is he whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered; cited in Romans 4:7).
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity,
Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him (note: LXX Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him; cited in Romans 4:8), in whose spirit there is no deceit.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained (note: Or my vitality was turned) as in the summer heat. Selah
I acknowledged my sin to you.
Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.
Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.
You are my hiding place.
You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.
Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,
Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.
Many sorrows come to the wicked,
Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous!
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
