Psalm 32

Beati quorum

  1. Blessed is he whose unrighteousness is forgiven : and whose sin is covered.
  2. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin : and in whose spirit there is no guile.
  3. For while I held my tongue : my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.
  4. For thy hand is heavy upon me day and night : and my moisture is like the drought in summer.
  5. I will acknowledge my sin unto thee : and mine unrighteousness have I not hid.
  6. I said, I will confess my sins unto the Lord : and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin.
  7. For this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found : but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him.
  8. Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shalt preserve me from trouble : thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
  9. I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go : and I will guide thee with mine eye.
  10. Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding : whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, lest they fall upon thee.
  11. Great plagues remain for the ungodly : but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord, mercy embraceth him on every side.
  12. Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord : and be joyful, all ye that are true of heart.
