PSALM 32
The Joy of Forgiveness
A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.[fn]
1 Blessed is he whose transgression 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 deceit.
​
3 ​​When I kept silent, my bones grew old
​​Through my groaning all the day long.
4 ​​For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
​​My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
5 ​​I acknowledged my sin to You,
​​And my iniquity I have not hidden.
​​I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”
​​And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
​
6 ​​For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
​​In a time when You may be found;
​​Surely in a flood of great waters
​​They shall not come near him.
7 ​​You are my hiding place;
​​You shall preserve me from trouble;
​​You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
​
8 ​​I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
​​I will guide you with My eye.
9 ​​Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
​​Which have no understanding,
​​Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
​​Else they will not come near you.
​
10 ​​Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
​​But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
11 ​​Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous;
​​And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
