Psalm 32 — Legacy Standard Bible

You Forgave the Iniquity of My Sin

Of David. A ¹Maskil.

^aHow blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered!²How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh ^awill not take into account,And in whose spirit there is ^bno deceit!³When ^aI kept silent about my sin, ^bmy ¹bones wasted awayThrough my ²^,^cgroaning all day long.⁴For day and night ^aYour hand was heavy upon me;My ¹^,^bvitality was drained away as with the heat of summer. ² Selah.⁵I ^aacknowledged my sin to You,And my iniquity I ^bdid not cover up;I said, “^cI will confess my transgressions to Yahweh;”And You ^dforgave the ¹iniquity of my sin. Selah.⁶Therefore, let every holy one pray to You ¹^,^aat a time when You may be found;Surely ^bin a flood of great waters they will not reach him.⁷You are ^amy hiding place; You ^bguard me from trouble;You surround me with ¹^,^csongs of deliverance. Selah.⁸I will ^agive you insight and teach you in the way which you should go;I will counsel you ^bwith My eye upon you.⁹Do not be ^aas the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,Whose harness are bit and bridle to control them,Otherwise they will not come near you.¹⁰Many are the ^asorrows of the wicked,But ^bhe who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him.¹¹Be ^aglad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones;And shout for joy, all you who are ^bupright in heart.
