Psalms 32
King James Version

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity,

and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old

through my roaring all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:

my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee,

and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord;
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee

in a time when thou mayest be found:
surely in the floods of great waters
they shall not come nigh unto him.

7 Thou art my hiding place;

thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:

I will guide thee with mine eye.

9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule,

which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee.

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:

but he that trusteth in the Lord,
mercy shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous:

and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Blessed Are the Forgiven
