Psalms 32

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

2 Ref Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 Ref When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

4 Ref For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed `as' with the drought of summer. Selah

5 Ref I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

6 Ref For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

7 Ref Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah

8 Ref I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

9 Ref Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, `Else' they will not come near unto thee.

10 Ref Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

11 Ref Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
