Psalms

32 0 A Psalm of David, ¹Maschil.

1 BLESSED is he whose ^atransgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD ^bimputeth not iniquity, and ^cin whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When ^dI kept silence, ^emy bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

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

5 I ^gacknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. ^hI said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For ⁱthis shall every one that is godly pray unto thee ²in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the ^jfloods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7 Thou art ^kmy hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; ^lthou shalt ^*compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I ^mwill instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: ³I will guide thee with mine eye.

9 Be ⁿye 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.

10 Many ^osorrows shall be to the wicked: but ^phe that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall ^*compass him about.

11 Be ^qglad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are ^rupright in heart.
