Psalms 32 · BSB

¹Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

²Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

³When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

⁴For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

⁵Then 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

⁶Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

⁷You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

⁸I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

⁹Do 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.

¹⁰Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

¹¹Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

King James Version +

¹Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

²Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

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

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

⁵I 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.

⁶For 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.

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

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

⁹Be 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.

¹⁰Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

¹¹Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
