Psalms 32

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. ²Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. ³When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. ⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. [Selah ⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah ⁶For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. ⁷Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah ⁸I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. ⁹Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Elsethey will not come near unto thee. ¹⁰Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. ¹¹Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
