Psalms 32:1-11
Of David. Masʹkil.*
32 Happy is the one whose transgression is pardoned, whose sin is covered.*+
2 Happy is the man whom Jehovah does not charge with guilt,+In whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away because of my groaning all day long.+
4 For day and night your hand* was heavy upon me.+
My strength evaporated* like water in the dry summer heat. (Selah)
5 Finally I confessed my sin to you;I did not cover my error.+
I said: “I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah.”+
And you pardoned the error of my sins.+ (Selah)
6 This is why every loyal one will pray to you+While you may yet be found.+
Then even the floodwaters will not reach him.
7 You are a hiding place for me;You will safeguard me from distress.+
You will surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance.+ (Selah)
8 “I will give you insight and instruct you in the way you should go.+
I will give you advice with my eye upon you.+
9 Do not become like a horse or a mule, without understanding,+Whose spiritedness must be controlled with a bridle or a halterBefore it will come near to you.”
10 Many are the pains of the wicked;But the one trusting in Jehovah is surrounded by His loyal love.+
11 Rejoice in Jehovah and be joyful, you righteous ones;Shout joyfully, all you who are upright in heart.
