Psalm 32 By David
. A contemplative psalm.

{32:1} Blessed
is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

{32:2} Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn't impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

{32:3} When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

{32:4} For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

{32:5} I 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.

{32:6} For 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.

{32:7} You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

{32:8} I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

{32:9} Don'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.

{32:10} Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.

{32:11} Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart
!
