Psalms — Chapter 32

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.

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

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

3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah

5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

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

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

9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [Else] they will not come near unto thee.

10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

11Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Psalm 33

1By David; a well-written song. How blessed is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.

2How blessed is the one whose wrongdoing the Lord does not punish, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.

4For day and night you tormented me; you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer. (Selah)

5Then I confessed my sin; I no longer covered up my wrongdoing. I said, “I will confess my rebellious acts to the Lord.” And then you forgave my sins. (Selah)

6For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them.

7You are my hiding place; you protect me from distress. You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance. (Selah)

8I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

9Do not be like an unintelligent horse or mule, which will not obey you unless they are controlled by a bridle and bit.

10An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

11Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!

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

2Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

4For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

5I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6For 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.

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

8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

9Don’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.

10Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.

11Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
