Psalm 32

1. 1

   Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, *
   and whose sin is put away!

2. 2

   Happy are they to whom the LORD imputes no guilt, *
   and in whose spirit there is no guile!

3. 3

   While I held my tongue, my bones withered away, *
   because of my groaning all day long.

4. 4

   For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; *
   my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.

5. 5

   Then I acknowledged my sin to you, *
   and did not conceal my guilt.

6. 6

   I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD." *
   Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.

7. 7

   Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; *
   when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach them.

8. 8

   You are my hiding-place; you preserve me from trouble; *
   you surround me with shouts of deliverance.

9. 9

   "I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go; *
   I will guide you with my eye.

10. 10

    Do not be like horse or mule, which have no understanding; *
    who must be fitted with bit and bridle, or else they will not stay near you."

11. 11

    Great are the tribulations of the wicked; *
    but mercy embraces those who trust in the LORD.

12. 12

    Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in the LORD; *
    shout for joy, all who are true of heart.
