Psalm32
Thanksgiving for Forgiveness of Sins
Of David. A maskil.
1Happy is he whose transgression is taken away,whose sin is covered.2Happy is a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquityand in whose spirit there is not deceit.3When I kept silent, my bones were worn outdue to my groaning all the day.4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me.My vigor was changed into the dry heat of summer. Selah5I made known my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not cover.I said, “I will confess concerning my transgressions to Yahweh,”and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah6Therefore let all the faithful pray to youat the time for finding you.Surely at the flood of many waters they will not reach him.7You are my hiding place;from trouble you preserve me.With cries of deliverance you surround me. Selah8I will instruct you and teach youin the way that you should go.I will advise you with my eye upon you.9Do not be like a horse or like a mule, without understanding;that needs his tackle—bridle and rein—for restraintor he would not come near you.10Many are the pains of the wicked,but for the one who trusts Yahwehloyal love surrounds him.11Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous,and shout for joy, all you upright of heart.Logos Bible Software
