Psalm 32

Revised Geneva Translation

32 Blessed is he whose wickedness is forgiven; whose sin is covered.

² Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

³ When I held my tongue (my bones being consumed when I roared all day,

⁴ for Your hand is heavy upon me day and night) and my moisture turned into the drought of Summer (Selah),

⁵ I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I thought, “I will confess to the LORD my wickedness against myself.” And You forgave the punishment of my sin. Selah.

⁶ Therefore, everyone who is godly shall make his prayer to You in a time when You may be found. Surely, in the flood of great waters they shall not come near him.

⁷ You are my Secret Place. You preserve me from trouble. You surround me with joyful deliverance. Selah.

⁸ “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you shall go. I will guide you with My eye.

⁹ “Be not like a horse, or like a mule, which do not understand; whose mouths you bind with bit and bridle, lest they come near you.”

¹⁰ Many sorrows shall come to the wicked. But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.

¹¹ Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in the LORD; and be joyful, all you who are upright in heart!
