The Book of Psalms
Psalm 32
[A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.] Blessed [is] he whose transgression is lifted, whose sin [is] covered.
Blessed [is] the man to whom Jehovah does not charge iniquity, and in whose spirit there [is] no guile.
When I kept silence, then my bones became old, through my howling all day.
For by day and by night Your hand [was] heavy on me; my sap was turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.
I confessed my sin to You, and I have not hidden my iniquity; I said, I will confess over my transgression to Jehovah; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
On account of this let every godly one pray to You; at a time of finding, surely, when great floods come, they will not reach him.
You [are] my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround [me] with songs of deliverance. Selah.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you, My eye [shall be] on you.
Be not like the horse, like the mule, with no understanding; with bit and bridle, his gear, to be held in, [that] they do not come near you.
Many sorrows [are] to the wicked; but he who trusts in Jehovah, mercy embraces him.
Be glad in Jehovah and rejoice, you righteous [ones]; and all the upright in heart, shout for joy.
