Psalm 32

  

The Joy of Forgiveness

A Psalm of David, Maschil.

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

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no guile.   3 When I kept silence,
my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 4 For day and night
thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned
into the drought of summer.  Selah 5 I acknowledge 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   6 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. 7 Thou art my hiding place;
thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.  Selah   8 I will instruct thee and teach thee
in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. 9 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. 10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.   11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous:
and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
