Psalm 32

The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 32. By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit. When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him. You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you. Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you. Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

By David
A contemplative psalm
Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesnt impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long
For day and night your hand was heavy on me
My strength was sapped in the heat of summer
Selah
I acknowledged my sin to you
I didnt hide my iniquity
I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD
And you forgave the iniquity of my sin
Selah
For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found
Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him
You are my hiding place
You will preserve me from trouble
You will surround me with songs of deliverance
Selah
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go
I will counsel you with my eye on you
Dont be like the horse
Or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle
Or
Else they will not come near to you
Many sorrows come to the wicked
But loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous
Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart
