32:1  How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!

32:2  How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!

32:3  When I kept silent {about my sin,} my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long.

32:4  For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away {as} with the fever heat of summer. Selah.

32:5  I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah."

32:6  Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.

32:7  You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

32:8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

32:9  Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, {Otherwise} they will not come near to you.

32:10  Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in the LORD, lovingkindness shall surround him.

32:11  Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
