Psalm 32
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1O blessed is the man to whom is freely pardoned All the transgression he hath done, whose sin is covered. |
2Bless’d is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not his sin, And in whose sp’rit there is no guile, nor fraud is found therein. |
3When as I did refrain my speech, and silent was my tongue, My bones then waxed old, because I roared all day long. |
4For upon me both day and night thine hand did heavy lie, So that my moisture turned is in summer’s drought thereby. |
5I thereupon have unto thee my sin acknowledged, And likewise mine iniquity I have not covered: |
I will confess unto the Lord my trespasses, said I; And of my sin thou freely didst forgive th’ iniquity. |
6For this shall ev’ry godly one his prayer make to thee; In such a time he shall thee seek, as found thou mayest be. |
Surely, when floods of waters great do swell up to the brim, They shall not overwhelm his soul, nor once come near to him. |
7Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt from trouble keep me free: Thou with songs of deliverance about shalt compass me. |
8I will instruct thee, and thee teach the way that thou shalt go; And, with mine eye upon thee set, I will direction show. |
9Then be not like the horse or mule, which do not understand; Whose mouth, lest they come near to thee, a bridle must command. |
10Unto the man that wicked is his sorrows shall abound; But him that trusteth in the Lord mercy shall compass round. |
11Ye righteous, in the Lord be glad,
in him do ye rejoice:
All ye that upright are in heart,
for joy lift up your voice.
